Hello and welcome to HCM!
As you reported you are diagnosed with hypothyroidism one year ago and started the treatment with eltroxine. For one year you used to feel better, is there any reason why you decided to stop the treatment?
In general the diseases that cause hypothyroidism are chronic and the treatment is longlife, the fact that you do have symptoms when you stopped the treatment supports this.
Constipation is a symptom of hypothyroidism and constipation can aggravate hemorroids, so i suggest you to measure the TSH level and restart the treatment again.
Hope i was useful.
Kind regards,
Dr.M.Guni
