A member asked:
Can the estrogen in birth control pills have caused my hyperthyroid to return to normal? i read estrogen blocks the production of thyroid hormone
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Estrogen and thyroid: Unfortunately the two items can interact/interfere with each other and you need to get to your primary care doctor as soon as possible! It is likely that your doctor will refer you immediately to an Endocrinologist. Please let me know how things go.
