Radio iodine gets accumulated into the thyroid along with other iodine. This can result in an increased risk of thyroid cancer. This also applies to dogs, hamsters, husbands and other household pets.

The restriction is not more than for six weeks. After your thyroid function tests become normal you will be like any other woman.
