Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi,

1. If you are having prolonged menses even after normalisation of your thyroid function, you should consult a Gynaecologist and get evaluated for increased bleeding. A gynaecologist may do an Ultrasound examination to look for any local causes like uterine fibroids.

2. There is no complete cure for hypothyroidism. Thyroxine is just a replacement of deficient thyroid hormones. Don't worry it is free of side effects if you are taking it at correct dose

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
