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 become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What is the best treatment for hyperthyroidism?Doctor's answer:
Your wife suffers from hyperthyroidism, which is a disease caused by excessive tension of the thyroid function. It indicates that the thyroid produces and excretes too much hormone, slowing down the body's metabolism. This is a controllable disease that requires long-term medication. Generally, a course of treatment lasting over a year is needed, and the chance of complete self-recovery is not high. It is recommended to consult the endocrinology department of the hospital for follow-up. Follow the doctor's advice to take medication on time and have irregular follow-up tests for thyroid function. Avoid consuming iodine-rich foods during daily life.
