Can hyperthyroidism be cured? What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease, and people with hyperthyroidism may have a large neck. The onset of hyperthyroidism is the thyroid gland, which can absorb a lot of iodine. Some seafood and salt we eat now will contain iodine, and too much iodine intake will also cause hyperthyroidism.

Can hyperthyroidism be cured? Hyperthyroidism can be cured.

The treatment of hyperthyroidism is divided into two parts: general treatment and treatment for hyperthyroidism itself.

General treatment refers to symptomatic treatment, including paying attention to rest, supplementing enough calories and nutrition, giving benzodiazepines to insomnia, and giving beta blockers to palpitations.

However, these treatments are palliative rather than permanent. To cure hyperthyroidism, it is necessary to adopt treatment methods for hyperthyroidism itself, including antithyroid drugs (ATD), radioactive iodine and surgery. These three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Drug treatment is effective, convenient, economical and non-invasive, and is suitable for patients with mild illness, mild goiter, adolescents and children, hyperthyroidism patients with severe exophthalmos, hyperthyroidism pregnant women and so on. But the course of treatment is long and the recurrence rate is high. At the same time, drugs can lead to liver injury, leukopenia, agranulocytosis, severe allergies and other adverse reactions.

Radioiodine therapy is safe and simple, with low cost and high cure rate. The clinical cure rate is 85%, and the recurrence rate is less than 65438 0%. It is suitable for teenagers and children who have recurrent attacks, failed ATD treatment, refused surgery or have surgical contraindications. However, pregnant women and lactating women are prohibited because of radiation. The main adverse reaction of iodine 13 1 treatment is permanent hypothyroidism, which generally occurs in 5-20% of patients within 1 year after treatment, and then increases year by year, so patients need to take hypothyroidism drugs for life.

Surgical treatment is the best choice for patients with severe goiter and thyroid cancer. The cure rate is about 95%, and the recurrence rate is 0.6%-9.8%. It is also suitable for patients with poor drug control of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy, but it will also cause permanent hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury after operation.

Hyperthyroidism is caused by iodine deficiency or iodine deficiency or excessive iodine intake, but it is not hyperthyroidism, iodine deficiency or excessive iodine intake.

More than 80% of hyperthyroidism is caused by thyroid autoimmune diseases. In addition, most patients can't find the exact cause, so it is very one-sided to judge the occurrence of hyperthyroidism by iodine deficiency or iodine intake.

Patients with thyroid diseases such as subacute thyroiditis and postpartum thyroiditis are also prone to hyperthyroidism symptoms. In addition, the common causes of hyperthyroidism include lack of sleep and mental stress, so people need to be alert to the occurrence of hyperthyroidism.

Especially now, many young people have the habit of staying up late, and their working hours are very irregular, and their work pressure is relatively high. These reasons may be the factors leading to hyperthyroidism.

What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism? The symptoms of hypermetabolism mainly include sweating, palpitation, hunger, increased defecation times and weight loss. These symptoms are all caused by thyroid hormone, which can promote metabolism and redox reaction.

Hyperthyroidism hyperactivity patients will have symptoms such as irritability, excitability, emotional excitability, insomnia, anxiety and so on because of sympathetic nerve excitement. In addition, patients with Graves' disease may also have typical symptoms of exophthalmos and big neck.
