I am 37 years old unmarried. I have hypothyroidism, taking eltroxin 25 mcg on daily. Recently I started to take sea kelp supplement. I feel no fatigue, no hot flashes, no weakness after taking iodine supplements. I am having regular period. In last 3 month I got just 3-7 days period late but regular. This time I got period before 12 days. Is it normal or any health issue?

Hello, thanks for query. I have seen the details mentioned. If the levels of t3 & t4 are with in the normal range & tsh is also around 3 mu/l then hypothyroidism is considered to be well controlled. In that situation all the symptoms associated with that disorder are in check, including the normal menstrual cycles. Since you are taking kelp, please see that it is not in excess as taking more iodine is not beneficial. As rgeards the early period, it can happen some times. But if that keeps repeating then there is a need to consult a gynecologist. Since you have not mentioned any information on weight, height, t3, t4 & tsh levels, no further comments can be made. Thanks.

If you interested in homoeopathy then do not stop eltroxin immediately. Continue some homoeo treatment along with this. Must be miasmetic. Then after few week you can stop eltroxin. This time your body energy will be more, blood count normal. No tiredness. Take mixed fruit juice daily evening. If interested contact Lybrate to reach me.
