The choice of thyroid treatment depends upon the cause of your thyroid disorder and its severity.
To manage hyperthyroidism, radioactive iodine treatment or anti-thyroid medication is recommended to slow down the production of the thyroid hormone. In the case of hypothyroidism, synthetic hormone pills are usually prescribed, which the patient must take throughout their life as no drug, surgery or medicine can boost the thyroid once it slows down.
Surgery to remove the thyroid gland is also an option but is required only in a few cases like having a large goitre, a hyperfunctioning nodule within the gland or thyroid cancer. In addition to your treatment, make sure to include a proper diet, supplements and special exercises in your routine.
Consult Medcare specialists to ensure the right treatment for your thyroid disorder.
