How does hypothyroidism do after hyperthyroidism treatment? Lifelong medication?

summary

When I was in high school, I didn't know what the reason was, because I suddenly became very thin, and I had a bad temper. I always felt that I had no strength, so I went to the hospital for examination. Later, I said it was hyperthyroidism, and then I began to take medicine. But later, maybe it was because I took too much medicine. When I checked again, it turned into hypothyroidism. It was really annoying and sad. It's also said that hypothyroidism is more difficult to treat than hyperthyroidism, so I've inquired about many ways to treat hypothyroidism. Let's have a look.

How does hypothyroidism do after hyperthyroidism treatment? Lifelong medication?

First: for early light patients, western medicine can be used instead of therapy, that is, oral medicine for life, so that the thyroid function can be maintained at a normal level. At the same time, it can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the effect is better, but even so, it is still difficult to completely recover.

Second: however, for those patients who are found later or are in serious condition, there is no way to treat them only by oral drugs. Combined with drugs, specific treatment for specific symptoms is needed, such as infusion, oxygen, control of heart failure and so on.

Third: Although the treatment of hypothyroidism is very simple, just take a few tablets every day, but the drug is divided into three parts. When taking medicine, we should strictly follow the doctor's prescription to keep the thyroid hormone level within the normal range. Too much or too little is not OK, so we must have regular examination.
