Patient's question:
Actually, I always thought that diseases like hyperthyroidism were something middle-aged women in their 40s or 50s would get, but I never expected that someone as young as me, in my 20s, would also get sick. When I saw "subclinical hyperthyroidism" written on the medical record, I had no idea what to do?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, hyperthyroidism is an early change of hyperthyroidism. Generally, it can be temporarily not requiring treatment as long as dietary control is maintained. Such patients should pay attention to rest, prevent fatigue, avoid staying up late, smoking, or exposure to secondhand smoke. Additionally, it is crucial to pay attention to diet—avoiding iodized salt and foods high in iodine, such as nori or kelp. Follow-up thyroid function tests can be conducted after 2–4 weeks.
