Hypothyroidism is caused by a decrease in thyroid hormone synthesis in the body.

It needs to be replaced by Ujiale**, and most of them need to be taken for life, but as long as the amount of replacement is appropriate, there is no damage to the body.

Hypothyroidism is a very harmful malignant disease

Hypothyroidism is the abbreviation of hypothyroidism, and for patients with hypothyroidism, it can generally be carried out by general**, drugs** and other methods**.

1. General**:

Patients should pay attention to a low-fat diet, supplement an appropriate amount of iodine in the diet, and eat some foods rich in vitamins and sufficient protein, such as meat, eggs, milk, etc. At the same time, you can also eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, such as miscellaneous grains, leeks, mountain judgment and Mengwang medicine.

2. Drugs**:

Patients with hypothyroidism can also undergo thyroid hormone replacement**, which generally requires long-term use of drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets** as prescribed by a doctor. The main purpose of this method is to maintain thyroid function and effectively reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications within the normal range. Patients also need to have their thyroid function checked regularly after taking the drug** and adjust the dosage of Zhizen medication in time.

In addition, because hypothyroidism is a lifelong disease, patients should not reduce the drug on their own or stop the drug at will, so as not to affect the condition.

The standard** is daily use of levothyroxine (L-T4), a synthetic thyroid hormone. This oral medication can restore adequate hormone levels to reverse the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. Fast onset, safe and reliable.

Note: L-T4** may be lifelong, depending on the cause of hypothyroidism**. In addition, the dose required will be adjusted according to the results of the thyroid function test.

Critically ill **myxedema coma**: remove the cause that induces the exacerbation of the disease, such as infection, etc.; Thyroid hormone supplementation: intravenous thyroid hormone is preferred; Keep the respiratory tract open, oxygen inhalation, and heat preservation; intravenous hydrocortisone; Rehydrate as needed, symptomatic**; Additional support**.

What are the general** measures for hypothyroidism? If you're taking medications that may cause or worsen hypothyroidism, talk to the doctor who prescribed them to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether you can stop taking them. Patients in iodine-deficient areas should be given adequate iodine supplementation to correct iodine deficiency.

People with anemia can follow the doctor's instructions to supplement iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid. What medications are available for hypothyroidism**? Due to individual differences, there is no absolute best, fastest and most effective medication, except for commonly used over-the-counter drugs, the most appropriate drug should be selected under the guidance of a doctor in full combination with individual circumstances.

Medication** is levothyroxine (L-T4) supplementation, and the dose depends on the patient's condition, age, weight, and individual differences. Older people, those with coronary artery disease, or those with severe hypothyroidism should start with a small dose and gradually increase the dose. When used in appropriate doses, levothyroxine has almost no *** and is relatively inexpensive.

However, the following points should be paid attention to when taking medication. Overdose can cause ***, such as: increased appetite, insomnia, palpitations, tremors, etc., and the above symptoms need to be adjusted by medical attention.

Don't stop taking your medication at will, especially if your symptoms are relieved. If you miss a one-day dose, you can take a double dose the next day. Some medications or foods can affect the absorption of L-T4:

Iron supplements or multivitamins that contain iron, aluminum hydroxide (found in some antacids), calcium supplements, lots of soy products, high-fiber diets, etc. L-T4 should be taken at least 4 hours apart from these medications and foods. L-T4 is best taken daily on an empty stomach and 1 hour after taking the drug before eating or taking other medications.

However, if this is a great inconvenience to the patient, you can also choose to take the medicine before bed or 30 minutes before breakfast. No matter what time point you choose, you should stick to a relatively fixed time to take the drug. What are the other** measures for hypothyroidism?

Dry thyroid tablets: It is a dry powder tablet made by purifying, drying and making animal thyroid glands such as pig thyroid glands after removing connective tissue and adipose tissue. Although these products contain T4 and T3, their hormone content is unstable, potency and purity cannot be guaranteed, and a high ratio of T3 can easily lead to T3 overdose, so they are not recommended as the first choice for hypothyroidism**.

Hypothyroidism cannot be cured, and it is a lie to say that it can be cured.

3. Limit fat and cholesterol-rich diet: Patients with hypothyroidism often have hyperlipidemia, which is more obvious in primary hypothyroidism, so fat diet should be restricted. Daily fat supply accounts for about 20% of total calories, and restricting a diet rich in cholesterol is also a hypothyroid diet**.

4. Provide sufficient protein: the protein quality per person per day is at least more than 20g, in order to maintain the human protein balance egg, amino acids are the basic components of protein, about 3% of the protein is constantly renewed every day, the renewal rate of the small intestinal mucosa slows down when hypothyroidism, the digestive juice secretion gland is affected, the enzyme activity decreases, and the general albumin decreases, so essential amino acids should be supplemented to supply sufficient protein to improve the condition.
