The thyroid can be controlled with the right treatment. As far as treatment for hyperthyroid or hypothyroid disorder is concerned, it can be treated either by providing the hormone orally, controlling its excessive release, depending on the case. This controls the effects of thyroid disorder on your body, but can't cure it completely.
For instance, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that can cause hypothyroidism, where the secretion of the thyroid hormone is inadequate. In such cases, patients are treated with hormone pills to restore their hormonal levels. However, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis itself is not cured.
The best way to manage thyroid disorders is lifelong medication and regular follow-ups to ensure normal functioning for yourself.
