Hypothyroidism Questions

What to do about the loss of hormones once the thyroid is ablated?

Dec 9, 2016

When thyroid is completely ablated, such as due to a tumour or in the cases of cancer, you need to consult a practitioner to pick the best thyroid supplementation and dosage for you. Using a natural form of the thyroid – such as desiccated bovine (cow) or porcine (pig) thyroid, called Armour thyroid- may be preferable to taking synthetic hormone replacements.
