Hyperthyroidism is an extremely difficult disease to treat because of the long treatment period and the tendency to relapse. What is hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism is the abbreviation for hyperthyroidism. It is a condition in which the thyroid gland is in a constant state of high function, synthesizing and releasing too much thyroxine, resulting in a clinical syndrome such as thyrotoxicosis. The etiology of hyperthyroidism is complex and not yet fully understood. According to modern medical research, it is mostly believed to be an organ-specific autoimmune disease. Hyperthyroidism is a common clinical disease that manifests as increased excitability and hypermetabolism of the nervous, circulatory, and digestive systems. Patients may have a variety of clinical symptoms, such as panic attacks, tachycardia, fear of heat, excessive night sweats, hyperphagia, weight loss, fatigue, protruding eyes, irritability, and increased FT3 and FT4 in the blood. There are four common treatments for hyperthyroidism, namely traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, surgery and 131 iodine. Some people say there are 5 types of treatments, i.e., combined with Chinese and Western medicine. Each of these treatments has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, it is obviously not right to treat all hyperthyroid patients indiscriminately, especially when the advertisement advertises a cure rate of over 90% without any sequelae. Because of the high incidence of hypothyroidism with 131 iodine therapy, I recommend regular oral antithyroid medication for first occurrence of hyperthyroidism in patients younger than 40 years of age. Surgical treatment of hyperthyroidism is less common than before, and surgery is preferred in cases of obvious enlargement and compression of the thyroid gland. Experienced surgeons can reduce the incidence of post-surgical hypothyroidism. Drug therapy is the most widely and generally accepted mainstream treatment method by the majority of patients and preferred by endocrinologists. Western medication for hyperthyroidism plays a therapeutic role by interfering with the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Western medications for hyperthyroidism include methylthioxypyrimethamine, propylthioxypyrimethamine, and tabazol (methimazole). This method is characterized by a relatively rapid effect of anti-hyperthyroidism in the short term, but it also requires a long course of treatment, usually requiring 1 to 2 years of medication, or 2 to 3 years or longer if necessary, with the aim of controlling relapses. However, long-term drug use can cause adverse effects such as granulocytopenia, liver function impairment, cholestatic jaundice, rash, arteritis, arthralgia, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, etc. The total incidence varies, ranging from 3% to 14%. Granulocyte deficiency is the most serious adverse reaction in the treatment of hyperthyroidism with western drugs, which occurs within 4-8 weeks after treatment, with an incidence of about 0.5%. Once it occurs, thioureas should be stopped immediately and comprehensive treatment measures should be taken. Can Chinese medicine treat hyperthyroidism? A firm answer: Yes, it can! Some patients may question TCM for hyperthyroidism, some Western doctors may consider TCM for hyperthyroidism as an adjunctive treatment, and some extreme ones may not recognize it at all. The former is ignorant, while the latter is either ignorant, academically discriminatory or, to put it more seriously, short-sighted. Basic treatment principles. Modern Chinese medicine believes that environmental endocrine disruptors, ecological pollution, viruses and other factors are also one of the important causes of hyperthyroidism, so it advocates benefiting Qi and nourishing Yin, clearing heat and detoxifying, eliminating swelling and dissipating nodules, activating blood and resolving phlegm as the basic treatment method. For those who are unwilling to take oral tonics or have difficulty in taking tonics, the author prescribes hyperthyroidism pills for oral use, which are based on the theory of Chinese medicine and developed from the scientific combination of hundreds of herbs from the perspective of pharmacology and pathology with the help of modern technology. It has been clinically shown that this medicine can effectively eliminate the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, quickly restore the normal function of all systems of the body, and comprehensively improve the immune function of oneself.
