Hello friend, hyperthyroidism is definitely related to genetics. Most patients with hyperthyroidism in clinical practice have a familial history. If a mother suffers from hyperthyroidism, her children's thyroid is more susceptible to the hyperthyroidism pathogen compared to others. Although they have a higher susceptibility to hyperthyroidism, not everyone will develop the condition. Two other factors must be involved for someone to develop hyperthyroidism: one is exposure to the hyperthyroidism pathogen, and the other is factors such as excessive fatigue or psychological stress, which can weaken the body's resistance. When these three factors combine, hyperthyroidism can be triggered.
