Clinically, the choice of medication or iodine 131 for the treatment of hyperthyroidism needs to be based on the specific condition, and there is no such thing as which treatment is better. If you are allergic to antithyroid drugs, you can choose iodine 131 treatment. Common treatments for hyperthyroidism include antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine 131 therapy and surgery, in addition to beta-blockers for assistance; antithyroid drugs and radioactive iodine 131 therapy have their own indications and contraindications, and the preferred medication should be determined according to the patient’s condition. 1. Antithyroid medication: Antithyroid medication includes thioureas and imidazoles, which inhibit the synthesis of thyroid hormones by inhibiting the organicization of iodine, thus relieving hyperthyroidism. They are generally suitable for patients with mild symptoms. Their advantages are that they are cheap and not easy to overdo, but they need to be taken for a long time. 2. Iodine 131 treatment: It is a kind of radioactive therapy, which destroys the thyroid follicular cells through rays, thus reducing the production of thyroid hormones. It is suitable for patients with recurring hyperthyroidism. Its advantage is that it works fast, but it is easy to lead to hypothyroidism, and it is not suitable for pregnant women and other special groups. 3. Surgery: Surgery can be used for patients who are not well treated with antithyroid drugs and iodine 131. 4. β-blockers: β-blockers can reduce the conversion of T4 to T3 in peripheral tissues, and can be used as an adjunctive therapy to control the symptoms of hyperthyroidism, but cannot treat hyperthyroidism. For the treatment of hyperthyroidism, you should go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and use the most suitable treatment for the patient, not self-medication.
