Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism two years ago and have been improving through traditional Chinese medicine treatment. However, it has recently flared up again. My friend said that traditional Chinese medicine cannot completely cure it, and the best approach is to use Western medicine. But Western medicine has side effects, which makes me feel very troubled. Can hyperthyroidism be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Through reflective iodine treatment, it can be completely cured, but it may also lead to hypothyroidism, with a relatively high incidence of drug-induced disease. The specific treatment plan will be determined by your clinical diagnosis doctor based on your actual condition and personal preferences. It is recommended to always maintain a positive mental and physical state, avoid mental stress or overexertion, build harmonious interpersonal relationships and a strong social support system, and seek follow-up treatment at a regular hospital's endocrinology department in a timely manner.
