Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling extremely unwell, and after going to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I'm currently undergoing treatment, and I'd like to ask if it's okay to be active and drink tea with hypothyroidism? My two previous hobbies are now uncertain whether I can still engage in them, and I'm still a bit worried.Doctor's answer:
Patients with hypothyroidism do not affect normal survival. Hypothyroidism mainly leads to increased thyroid secretion, resulting in a decrease in various metabolic rates in the body, but it has little impact on normal survival. It does not affect exercise, nor does it affect diet, and it certainly does not affect drinking tea. Therefore, in this case, even exercise and drinking tea are acceptable. Patients with hypothyroidism must pay attention to supplementing with thyroid hormone tablets daily to maintain a balanced body's catabolic metabolism.
