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, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can people with hypothyroidism drink soy milk?Doctor's answer:
You have hypothyroidism, which indicates that your thyroid function has decreased, unable to produce and excrete enough thyroid hormones, leading to a slowdown in the body's catabolic metabolism. You can drink soy milk, as it is rich in nutrients and easy to absorb. It is recommended to consult the endocrinology department of your hospital for follow-up. You need to use thyroid hormone supplements under the guidance of a doctor, and regularly recheck your thyroid function to keep the hormone levels normal.
