Patient's question:
During the early pregnancy check-up, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The test results weren't very high, and the doctor said it wouldn't affect the baby, so treatment wasn't necessary. After giving birth, the follow-up test results didn't increase either, so we just need to wait and see. Recently, I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable. How should hyperthyroidism be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hyperthyroidism, also known as hyperthyroidism in clinical diagnosis, can be treated through medication, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery if it is clearly diagnosed through careful examination. The medication treatment process is relatively long, and if compliance is poor, radioactive iodine 131 therapy is recommended. This method has a high cure rate and a low recurrence rate, but it is more likely to cause hypothyroidism. Therefore, it is recommended that you decide on the treatment plan based on the examination results.
