Treatment of hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disease. The thyroid gland of patients secretes too much thyroid hormone, which leads to a series of symptoms, such as palpitations, anxiety, insomnia, etc. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has accumulated rich experience in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Next, we will introduce the treatment of hyperthyroidism from four aspects: drug treatment, radioactive iodine treatment, surgical treatment and adjuvant treatment.

medication

Drug therapy is one of the first choice for hyperthyroidism. Guangzhou Zhongshan ophthalmologists will select appropriate antithyroid drugs, such as thiourea, according to the thyroid function and symptoms of patients. These drugs can inhibit the synthesis and release of thyroid hormones, thereby improving the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. However, drug treatment needs to be maintained for a long time and may have some side effects, so it is essential to regularly review thyroid function.

Radioiodine therapy

Radioiodine therapy is a common and effective method to treat hyperthyroidism. Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department provides radioactive iodine treatment service. This treatment reduces thyroid function by giving patients a small amount of radioactive iodine orally to make them enter the thyroid gland and destroy thyroid tissue. Radioiodine treatment is usually safe and effective, but patients should try to avoid contacting pregnant women and children during the treatment process to avoid adverse effects on them.

surgical treatment

For some patients with severe hyperthyroidism and ineffective drug treatment or contraindications, surgical treatment may be a necessary choice. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, we have a professional ophthalmic surgery team that can perform thyroid surgery. Surgery usually involves the removal of part or all of the thyroid gland to reduce thyroid function. Surgical treatment should be carried out under the guidance of doctors, and the changes of thyroid function should be closely monitored during the recovery period after surgery.

Adjuvant therapy

In addition to drug therapy, radioactive iodine therapy and surgical treatment, the adjuvant treatment of hyperthyroidism is also very important. Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department provides TCM auxiliary treatment and nutritional therapy for hyperthyroidism patients. The auxiliary treatment of traditional Chinese medicine includes acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, etc., which can alleviate symptoms and adjust hormone balance. At the same time, reasonable diet and nutrition supplement can help patients better recover their health.

To sum up, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department adopts a comprehensive approach of drug treatment, radioactive iodine treatment, surgical treatment and adjuvant treatment to treat hyperthyroidism. Patients should choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions and treat under the guidance of doctors to achieve the best treatment effect.
