At present, the common methods of Western medicine for treating hyperthyroidism include medication, surgery and radioactive iodine therapy: 1. Some patients are afraid that long-term medication will harm the body, in fact, this worry is unnecessary, the majority of people taking anti-thyroid drugs are tolerated, but it is true that a small number of patients can be allergic, bone marrow suppression, liver damage, so patients with serious liver disease can not use drug therapy. For patients taking oral antithyroid drugs, one to two weeks must be spent in the hospital to check blood and liver function. 2.Surgical treatment: Removal of most of the thyroid gland has a high rate of eradication. However, since the deep part of the thyroid gland contains four very small parathyroid glands that regulate calcium and phosphorus metabolism, if the parathyroid glands are accidentally removed due to inexperience in surgery, they may cause lifelong hand and foot twitching due to low calcium, in addition to damage to the vagus nerve causing hoarseness. 3. Radioactive iodine treatment: Radioactive iodine is made by labeling iodine with a radioactive substance, also known as 131 iodine. Since the first case of hyperthyroidism was treated with 131 iodine in 1942, the number of hyperthyroidism patients treated with 131 iodine has reached 2 million worldwide. Director Ma believes that radioactive iodine is currently the ideal treatment for hyperthyroidism. She elaborated that iodine is the raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones in the human body. The iodine in food is absorbed by the intestine and enters the bloodstream, and when it passes through the thyroid gland, almost all of it is taken up by the thyroid gland, while the rest is excreted with urine and feces. In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland is enlarged and the local blood flow is very rich. Therefore, when a hyperthyroid patient takes 131 iodine orally, his thyroid gland will rapidly take in 131 iodine into the thyroid cells, which can emit radiation with a range of only 2 mm. It is equivalent to removing part of the thyroid tissue without surgery. Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder caused by too much thyroxine, and is treated with medication, surgery, and radioactive 131 iodine. In order to reduce recurrence and to be more effective, the following points should be noted in the treatment. First of all, we should understand the side effects of thyroid medications (tabazol or propylthiouracil), which include leukopenia, granulocyte deficiency, skin pruritus (or rash) and, in a few cases, liver damage. The most important side effect is granulocyte deficiency, so the white blood cell count should be reviewed regularly, and those who have reduced it should be treated with leukocyte-elevating drugs such as haematopoietin and salbutamol, which should be discontinued if necessary. In daily life, many people mistakenly believe that they should eat more kelp after suffering from hyperthyroidism, but in fact, this interferes with and is detrimental to the treatment of hyperthyroidism. The correct treatment should avoid iodine-containing foods such as kelp, nori, cabbage, seafood, fish and shrimp. Iodized salt should be replaced by common salt or put in earlier when cooking. During the course of treatment, patients should have their thyroid function checked regularly at the hospital so that the doctor can adjust the dosage according to clinical and laboratory tests in time to prevent drug-induced hypothyroidism. Some patients stop taking the medication on their own after they feel their symptoms have improved, which makes them very prone to relapse. Hyperthyroidism patients should pay attention to their diet: (1) Avoid spicy food: spicy, raw onion, raw garlic; (2) Avoid seafood: kelp, sea shrimp, scallops; (3) Avoid strong tea, coffee, tobacco and alcohol; (4) Keep your mood calm and prevent strain.
