What are the indications for surgery for hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is the abbreviation of hyperthyroidism. Indications for hyperthyroidism surgery include: significant enlargement of the thyroid gland with compression symptoms; moderate or severe hyperthyroidism, ineffective long-term medication, or recurrence after stopping medication or inability to adhere to medication; retrosternal goiter; thyroid cancer or suspected malignant lesions confirmed by fine needle aspiration cytology. For pregnant patients who are ineffective or allergic to antithyroid medication, surgery needs to be performed in the T2 stage of pregnancy (4-6 months), and is prohibited in the early (1-3 months) and late (7-9 months) stages of pregnancy. Hyperthyroidism patients who need to be treated by surgery should go to regular hospitals and under the guidance of professional doctors to avoid delaying the condition and causing serious consequences.
