Hyperthyroidism (Graves’ disease) is a common and frequent disease in China, with a prevalence of 0.5%-1% and a male/female ratio of 1/4-6. The disease can occur at any age, especially in young women aged 20-40. The onset of hyperthyroidism is related to autoimmunity, mental stimulation and genetics. Women should have their thyroid function routinely tested 3 months before planning a pregnancy to rule out hyperthyroidism. When you are diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, you will first receive medication, and you should pay attention to the following things in your life: 1. It is not advisable to stay up late, eat excessively or engage in strenuous activities. In addition, patients with hyperthyroidism with proptosis should read less books, newspapers and TV to reduce eye irritation and visual fatigue. 2. Maintain a good state of mind and calm emotions, and minimize adverse mental stimulation. 3.Because hyperthyroidism patients have a strong metabolism, it is advisable to supplement the diet with enough carbohydrates and fats to save the consumption of protein. In addition, a large amount of vitamins and inorganic salts (calcium and iron) should be supplemented. 4. Hyperthyroidism patients should not use iodine-containing drugs, such as iodine, iodine-containing tablets, iodine-containing contrast media, etc. 5, hyperthyroidism patients should pay attention to the diet: (1) do not eat spicy and irritating food, and drink less coffee and strong tea. (2) Reduce the intake of iodine-containing foods, such as kelp, seaweed, nori, summer grass, etc. (3) Avoid using iodized salt and buy non-iodized salt for consumption. (4) Try not to smoke or drink alcohol. The medication for hyperthyroidism lasts about 2 years and the process is divided into three stages: initial treatment, maintenance and reduction. The possible side effects of the medication include leukopenia (5%), rash (2%) and liver function damage (0.1%), so you need to have regular checkups. The recurrence rate of hyperthyroidism after stopping anti-thyroid medication is about 30%. You can continue to take medication or be treated with surgery and radioactive 131 iodine. Surgery has a cure rate of about 95%; 131 iodine therapy has a cure rate of about 85%. The main complication of radioactive iodine therapy is hypothyroidism, which can be as high as 60% after 10 years. Clinicians will choose the appropriate treatment plan according to the specific condition of the patient.
