Diagnosed with Hashimoto's 1.5 years after getting breast implants. Should I take my implants out?

June 22, 2020

Hey , I've had my breast implantat for 1,5 year an got diagnosed for having the autoimmune disease Hashimoto's recently. Did my breast implants cause this? Shoul I take the implant out, because I'm scared of becoming sick from other diseases. The symptoms are getting worse, and I haven't gotten on any medication yet. Is it true that the breast implants can hide cancer if I keep them? What I the safest thing to do? I care more for my health than looks!
