Patient's question:
I had a thorough examination in the hospital a couple of years ago and discovered many cases of hyperthyroidism. Later, I was treated with a lot of medication, but unexpectedly, during the examination, it had already turned into hypothyroidism. Can hyperthyroidism transform into hypothyroidism and heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are both conditions that can heal on their own. These two diseases pose significant threats to human health. However, when treating these conditions with medication, it is essential to cooperate with the doctor for treatment and not to resume medication again. Additionally, blood tests should be conducted periodically to understand the patient's thyroid function. After the condition of hyperthyroidism improves, the medication dosage should gradually increase to prevent the recurrence of hypothyroidism.
