Patient's question:
Last month during the company's health check-up, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I would like to ask if hypothyroidism can be cured, or if it can only be managed with artificial intervention?Doctor's answer:
You had a thorough physical examination last month and were found to have hypothyroidism, which is a disease where the body's ability to produce and excrete thyroid hormones is impaired. This leads to a slowdown in the body's metabolic decomposition. Medication is required to control the condition, and it is uncertain whether it can return to normal. It is recommended to consult the endocrinology department of your hospital for follow-up. Under the guidance of a physician, you can use hormone replacement medication and regularly check your thyroid function to keep the hormone levels within the normal range.
