hi all, I’ve been hypo for many years and just been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis is there any connection?

[helvella Administrator]

I found 63 papers which mention both prostatitis and hypothyroid. Might be worth reading through some of them.

Welcome aboard, would you say your replacement thyroid dose is optimal along with vits and mins?

welcome to the forum

How much levothyroxine are you taking

What are most recent TSH, Ft4 and Ft3 results

Plus vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin levels

Low vitamin levels extremely common on Levo unless testing and supplementing to maintain

Exactly what vitamin supplements are you taking

low vitamin D and prostate

Several clinical studies have shown a strong correlation between a vitamin D deficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) [7,8]. The molecular mechanism involved in vitamin D signaling is widely established.

Also get testosterone levels tested
