Conservative treatment of hyperthyroidism
Treatment of hyperthyroidism Tablets aims to reduce
Thyroid hormone products. The main place in therapy occupy
Anti-ramp drugs that prevent iodine accumulation in tissues

This trace element is included. Tablets do not destroy the tissue of the thyroid gland, but only
limit their metabolic activity, so it is necessary to take them everyday,
For a long time, at least during the year, constantly controlling the level
Hormones in the blood.

Hormones and maintain the required hormonal balance. If doctors have to
remove most of the organ, the likelihood of the development of hypothyroidism is great, and then
The deficiency of thyroid hormones will have to be compensated by
replacement hormone therapy.
The surgical treatment method also applies to the development
Serious side effects against the background of antihyroid therapy, resistance to therapy
radioactive iodine, as well as with suspicion of cancer.
Treatment with radioactive iodom
Radioiodhetherapy or treatment with radioactive iodine — The most common
Method of treating hyperthyroidism. The patient takes a capsule with radioactive iodine,
which accumulates in the tissues of the thyroid gland, and within 8-12 weeks
kills functionally hyperactive cells. As a result of treatment, sizes
thyroid gland decrease and it begins to produce less hormones.
Radioiodterepia is recommended for patients over 50 years and held
In the event that there is no effect from antihydride drugs, and if their
Application is limited to contraindications. Full recovery does not occur,
But the symptoms of the disease go to the decline. Sometimes after iodine therapy for 1-10 years
