Can Birth Control Implants Cause Thyroid Problems?

HI, I just found out that my thyroid level is at a 42... or hypothyroid problems. I have had implanon birth control for 1 and a half years now and have been reading online to find that many women in this medication experience what I am going through right now. Should I get it removed or ask my doctor about it at my apt next week?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Intra uterine device and thyroid dysfunction are complete different condition and nothing to take anything with each other, unless you have some clinical complaint due to IUD then this can be removed else this is no need to removed, hope this information helps take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
