Patient's question:
My family believes that their relatives suffer from hyperthyroidism. It took me over two years to treat it. I have been taking medication to keep it under control. I don't know what hyperthyroidism is. I only know it is a thyroid disease. One of my relatives has been using Western medicine for many years to treat it, taking Western medicine, and I think perhaps changing the treatment approach might be better. But I really don't know whether Western or Chinese medicine is beneficial for hyperthyroidism.Doctor's answer:
Hyperthyroidism is actually best treated with traditional Chinese medicine because it can prevent many side effects such as leukopenia, granulocytopenia, and damage to liver and kidney function. It can also prevent the high recurrence rate of complications that may arise from surgical treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to pay attention to rest and avoid negative mental influences, eat less spicy food or avoid it altogether, and eat less seafood. Before defecation, wait until the hyperthyroidism is cured. This will help you recover as soon as possible.
