Thyroid medications may adversely affect the fetus, and the business recommendation is to prepare for pregnancy when no more medications are needed after the procedure. There is no clear rule on the timing of pregnancy preparation after thyroid cancer surgery and it should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. Generally, pregnancy can be considered right after surgery, but thyroid cancer patients need to take thyroxine tablets for a long time after surgery, and this drug needs to be adjusted to maintain a certain dose and then taken for a long time. Therefore, it is recommended that thyroid cancer patients consider pregnancy after adjusting their medication maintenance dose.
Adjustment of this medication usually takes one to three months. For patients who require iodine therapy after surgery, because of the effect of iodine therapy on the reproductive organs, they need to consult their iodine therapist to see when they can prepare for pregnancy.
You cannot blindly stop taking the medication after surgery. If you are taking thyroxine tablets after surgery, you can prepare for pregnancy because the medication does not affect the fetus through the placenta and has no toxic effect on the fetus and will not cause malformations. After surgery, you should take rest, exercise properly, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, eat a balanced diet, and regulate your body so that you can get pregnant if your ovaries and uterus function normally.
