Hyperthyroidism is commonly treated with medication, surgery and iodine 131 therapy. 1.Medication: Anti-hyperthyroid drugs can control hyperthyroidism by inhibiting the synthesis of thyroid hormones. The specific dosage of medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. The medication is suitable for pregnant women, children and people with mild enlargement of the thyroid gland who suffer from hyperthyroidism, and the treatment usually takes about 1 to 2 years. 2. Iodine 131 treatment: Generally, radioactive iodine 131 is used to kill thyroid follicular cells to achieve the treatment effect. The use of radioactive iodine is absolutely prohibited for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Also, radioactive iodine treatment cannot be used for people with hyperthyroidism who have thyroid eye disease, because the eye disease may worsen after treatment. 3.Surgical treatment can be chosen if there are some physical complications. Surgical treatment is suitable for those who have obvious enlargement of the thyroid gland, have a high possibility of malignant tumor of the thyroid gland, or have difficulty in breathing due to compression of the trachea by the enlarged thyroid gland. Before surgery, medication is needed to control the thyroid function in the normal range, and oral compound iodine solution is needed for preoperative preparation. Hyperthyroidism needs to be treated under the guidance of a doctor to avoid serious consequences.
