Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What should I pay attention to in daily life with hypothyroidism?Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypothyroidism need to take thyroid hormone preparations for lifelong replacement therapy, so they must continue taking this medication for treatment. In daily diet, they should follow a high-protein, low-fat, and low-sodium diet, consume foods rich in vitamins, and pay attention to rest to avoid overexertion. Maintain a regular diet, persist in medication, and avoid intermittent use. During the medication break, take timely and proper measures. Daily life requires developing good habits, maintaining regular routines, abstaining from smoking and alcohol, and increasing physical exercise.
