Patient's question:
Male, 21 years old, currently studying in university, suffering from hyperthyroidism for two years, medication has not been effective, weak eyesight, are there any good hospitals that can fully treat it? Can the eyes return to normal?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, hyperthyroidism should be effectively treated by taking medication regularly. Common medications include methimazole and propylthiouracil. If the oral medication is not effective, radioactive iodine 131 treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to dietary factors, avoiding iodine-containing foods. The duration of hyperthyroidism exophthalmos is often prolonged, and after the thyroid function returns to normal, the exophthalmos may still persist, and in some cases, it may even become permanent.
