A member asked:
Can swollen thyroids be a side effect to starting birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely : Birth control pills have many possible side effects, but swollen thyroid is not a known side effect of this class of medication. They do have a potential to change some lab values because they can cause some increase of binding-proteins to thyroid hormones, but no change of functions. So, if you have a swollen thyroid, consult doc for an evaluation. Good luck.
