Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking Levothyroxin 50mcg since June 2017. I already have problems with my bowels as I have no muscle strength to get to the bathroom when warned by an InterStim surgercially implanted 2013. Since starting this thyroid medication, I rarely make it to the bathroom in time. I have to now wear DEPENDS. Do you think this med as increased my bowel movements to diarrhea everytime I go to bathroom? What can I do?
hello there, u need to get ur TFT (thyroid function test ) re evaluated. it can be that ur hypothyroidism has now shifted to hyperthyroidism or the dose of levothyroxine is high for u and accordingly u will need to get the medicine or dose changed. Regards
