What Are The Side Effects Of Radioactive Iodine Therapy?
Hi My boyfriend has just had radioactive iodine therapy to treat his graves disease. I know we have to use protection after his isolation period during sex but does this have to be condoms to prevent radioactive fluid entering me or can we just continue using the pill as we just need to prevent pregnancy for 12mths?

Hi,
The common side effects are nausea, vomiting and loss of taste.
It doesn't have any effect on the sexual partner.
You can prevent pregnancy by using pills or condoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
