When half the thyroid is removed due to a partial thyroidectomy, one might start to experience symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. These symptoms can include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, menstrual irregularities, forgetfulness, depression, dry hair to name a few. Talk with your doctor about his/her follow up recommendations post-surgery, and how they will want to monitor your progress after having half of your thyroid removed.

It depends- if you have a healthy thyroid gland, then it just reveals healthy thyroid tissue. It can also tell if your thyroid gland is over-active or under-active, producing too much or too little thyroxin which is a condition correctable by medication. In the unlucky event of you having thyroid cancer, it will reveal the presence of malignant cells, although it should be added that if caught early enough, this is normally completely treatable. Even if the gland has to be removed, the patient can continue to live normally with regular injections of thyroxin (rather like diabetics with insulin injections).
Tapazole also known as Methimazole is a thyroid medication that prevents the thyroid from producing too much thyroid hormone. Tapazole is not a birth control pill and will not prevent you from having a menstrual cycle.
