Many patients are under great pressure after being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, thinking that they will never be cured in their lifetime! It is also true that some patients have not been cured of hyperthyroidism for many years, even up to more than 10 years, the protruding eyes are getting heavier and heavier, the neck is getting thicker and thicker, and even serious heart failure, extreme thinness, lack of strength, the quality of life is very poor. Is hyperthyroidism really a lifelong disease that cannot be cured? In fact, elevated levels of thyroid hormones, i.e., FT3, FT4 high, TSH low, there can be panic, tachycardia, arrhythmia, excessive sweating, fear of heat, weight loss, increased stools or diarrhea, insomnia, women’s menstruation or even amenorrhea, etc., the vast majority of people with these symptoms are hyperthyroidism, but can also be seen in the destruction of the follicular cells of the thyroid gland, caused by the seemingly hyperthyroidism thyrotoxicosis. The causes are different in the two cases. The causes of these two conditions are different, and the treatments are different. So, clinically, we have to distinguish the causes and treat them differently, not all of them can be treated as hyperthyroidism. If it is caused by subacute thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, quiet thyroiditis, etc., it will enter the hypothyroidism stage after the thyrotoxicosis stage, and finally the thyroid function will gradually return to normal, and a few patients may have permanent hypothyroidism. This condition is not allowed to use tabazole, propylthiouracil and other drugs for hyperthyroidism. The most common cause of true hyperthyroidism is toxic diffuse goiter (Graves’ disease), which accounts for about 85% of cases, and some patients are Hashimoto’s hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can be treated with oral medications and 131I therapy. Because 131I treatment is prone to hypothyroidism, the country is often reluctant to accept. For the vast majority of patients with hyperthyroidism, if standardized oral drug treatment, hyperthyroidism can be cured, only a very small number of patients are prone to repeated or easy to relapse. In order to improve the cure rate and reduce recurrence, here are a few suggestions for you. Because the general rule of anti-thyroid drug treatment for hyperthyroidism is to gradually reduce the dose from the maximum dose to the maintenance period and finally stop the drug, because different patients react differently to the same dose of the drug, it is best to choose a trusted and experienced endocrine specialist for the whole treatment, accept his/her medical advice seriously, review regularly, adjust the dose in time, and insist on taking the drug even though there are no symptoms in the maintenance period, because Overseas research shows that a treatment course of 1.5-2 years can reduce the recurrence rate. Regardless of the situation, do not easily interrupt the drug treatment, and let the doctor decide whether it is necessary to stop or change the drug. Some patients stop taking medication on their own when they have a cold or are not feeling well, or even increase or decrease their medication according to their own feelings, which is the main reason why many patients cannot be cured for a long period of time and their condition often recurs. Anti-thyroid drugs in a small number of patients may appear rash, liver damage, white blood cells or neutropenia and other side effects, should be timely to the hospital, can not be hastily stopped or continue to take, the side effects of the serious may be life-threatening, even if the short-term stopping the drug may also make the previous efficacy of the wasted. Hyperthyroidism should be treated with a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine has a clear role in rapidly improving the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, reducing the side effects of western medicines, and lowering the recurrence rate, especially in improving the patient’s mood, sleep, and strengthening the physical strength, etc. However, one should not blindly rely on the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, which can be discontinued when there are no obvious symptoms and the thyroid function is normal, while the western antithyroid medicines need to be taken as a full course of medicine. The western antithyroid drugs need to be taken for the full course of treatment. After stopping the medication under the guidance of the doctor, you need to maintain a good mood, live a regular life, do not stay up late, do not eat a lot of iodine-containing food, if you do feel that there are symptoms of hyperthyroidism, you need to consult a doctor in a timely manner, and in the case of a very mild with a small amount of medication to control the condition to curb the aggravation of the condition.
