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?
