What are the treatments for thyroid disease?

Thyroid disease is a disease that is highly common among people in coastal areas or inland areas, because with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of people's stress, the thyroid gland is particularly prone to problems, because it is the largest endocrine gland organ in the human body. Thyroid hormones in the human body can maintain a normal caloric balance, can maintain the normal metabolism and balance of the three major nutrients including carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and maintain our normal response to the outside world.

1. Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

Generally speaking, thyroid gland problems are manifested in the obvious enlargement of the small butterfly on our neck, and this goiter will also show two symptoms, one is hypothyroidism, low thyroid hormone levels need to supplement thyroid hormone, and the other is hyperthyroidism, the patient will be greedy, but people are getting thinner and thinner, and they often feel irritable, but they can't find the reason, and there are symptoms such as proptosis and weakness. It needs to be corresponded to according to the symptoms**.

2. Hypothyroidism**.

Hypothyroidism is hypothyroidism, the main symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, chills, constipation, increased menstruation, and with the aggravation of the condition, there will be unresponsiveness, apathy, loss of appetite, rough phenomenon, in short, the loss of joy in life. This disease does not require surgery, but requires long-term medication to supplement thyroxine, so that the clinical symptoms will be significantly improved soon and will not affect the normal life of the patient.

3. Hyperthyroidism**.

Compared with hypothyroidism, the symptoms of hyperthyroidism are more obvious, the eyes will protrude, the person will feel hungry for no reason, continue to eat more food, and the body will be more and more emaciated. At this time, the doctor will usually prescribe a treatment to regulate the patient's thyroid hormones, and ask the patient to consume a small amount of iodine-rich products such as seafood. As long as the hyperthyroidism is not severe and medication** is needed, surgery may be needed unless a nodule has grown.

There are many ways to do thyroid disease, the first is massage, which is to dredge the qi and blood meridians and improve the health of the thyroid gland by massaging specific acupoints; The second is traditional Chinese medicine**, Zhibai Dihuang Soup, Angelica Liuhuang Soup, etc. can effectively alleviate some symptoms of thyroid disease; The third is surgery, which is more used in medicine is laparoscopic surgery, which is to remove the patient's thyroid lesion through the laparoscope, so that the purpose of the first can be achieved.

First of all, you must go to the hospital for examination, the doctor will give reasonable advice, all of which will be carried out through surgery**, and then you can also be assisted by massage**, and you can also drink some traditional Chinese medicine**, and you must exercise more to improve physical fitness and enhance immunity.

For patients with hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and subclinical thyroiditis, oral medication can also be used**. Oral anti-hyperthyroidism drugs are required, thyroxine supplementation is required in patients with hypothyroidism, and antiviral drugs are required in patients with thyroiditis.

1. Internal medicine**: hyperthyroidism can be controlled or even cured through anti-thyroidism, primary hypothyroidism can be well controlled with lifelong hormones, and thyroid nodules can also be controlled through internal medicine; 2. Surgery**, thyroid adenoma, nodules and cancer can be removed by surgery; 3. For patients with hyperthyroidism who are not suitable for conservative ** and internal medicine ** and refuse surgery**, iodine-131** can be performed.

For the thyroid gland, traditional Chinese medicine was used in ancient times, there is a medicine called Wuhai gall tumor pill, this traditional Chinese medicine will become smaller after eating, most of this situation occurs in iodine-deficient areas, mountainous areas, endemic goiter is caused by iodine deficiency; In another case, with the popularization of color ultrasound, color ultrasound can roughly distinguish benign tumors and malignant tumors. For benign tumors of the thyroid gland, the thyroid gland function is normal, and surgery is generally not advocated when there are no compression symptoms and the appearance is not affected, but for malignant tumors of the thyroid gland, surgery is still the main treatment.

Thyroid diseases are different, and the methods are also different, and in general, the main drugs and surgeries for thyroid diseases are thorough. If it is only an abnormality of thyroid function, such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, it can be clearly diagnosed through the five tests of thyroid function, and the corresponding drugs are used**, and the diet needs to be strictly controlled during the ** period, especially for patients with hyperthyroidism, try not to eat iodized salt, and some seafood because iodine-containing foods will aggravate the condition.

Thyroid diseases need to be treated differently according to different categories: 1. Thyroid dysfunction, such as hyperthyroidism, methimazole can be taken; 2. Hypothyroidism, decreased or insufficient thyroid hormone secretion, requiring oral thyroid hormone**; 3. Thyroid nodules require surgery**.

Inflammation in the body often causes people to suffer from some diseases, according to a survey showing that there are more and more patients with thyroiditis, and many people are suffering from this disease. Thyroiditis is actually not very difficult, as long as people recover early**. Next, I will recommend some thyroiditis methods to help people get rid of the torment of disease-type disorders.

1.First: .Quiescent lymphocytic thyroiditis is a transient condition that lasts only a few months; Hyperthyroidism should be conservative** and usually requires only a blocker.

Antithyroid drugs, surgical, and radiation** are contraindications. Transient hypothyroidism may require thyroid hormone replacement**. Although some can be permanently hypothyroid, most thyroid function returns to normal, so thyroid function is reassessed after 6 to 12 months.

2.Second: for acute thyroiditis, cold compresses should be used in the early stage, hot compresses should be used in the late stage, and systemic antibiotics should be given.

If there is an abscess, incision and drainage should be performed early to prevent the abscess from rupturing into the trachea, esophagus, and mediastinum. **Includes antibiotics and local incision and drainage. It is best to have a puncture solution and blood culture, and to do a drug susceptibility test and then select a sensitive antibiotic to destroy the bacteria more effectively.

An abscess forms after a few days of thyroid inflammation, so it is necessary to incision and drainage of the thyroid abscess in order to effectively remove the pus and control the local inflammation as soon as possible. Because the neck pain is obvious, some pain-removing drugs can be used to check the slag.

3.Third: Hashimoto's thyroiditis, for mild goiter and asymptomatic patients can not **, should be followed up for observation.

Thyroid preparations should be given when the thyroid gland is markedly enlarged or hypothyroid, even if only serum TSH is elevated**. Rapid goiter enlargement, pain, or compression may be treated with short-term glucocorticoids**. Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism should be treated with low-dose antithyroid drugs**, generally without 131 iodine and surgery**, so as not to cause severe hypothyroidism.

Precautions. Many people mistakenly think that thyroiditis is a contagious disease, but in fact, this is not the case, and it is not contagious to the people around you. Don't be afraid if you have thyroiditis, this disease is not a terminal disease, as long as you persist, you will get it.

Therefore, patients with thyroiditis do not need to worry too much about their disease and treat it with an optimistic attitude.

First of all, you should insist on taking iodized salt, and then you should strengthen your exercise, and you should drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, don't stay up late, don't get angry, and should cooperate more with the doctor's advice**.

In normal times, you must pay attention to your diet, and then the diet should be light, and you should also pay attention to your living habits, or you can choose to use chemotherapy**, or you can choose to do it through surgery**.

If it is not too serious, it is recommended to focus on observation, if it is serious, it is necessary to consider surgery**, the effect of surgery ** is very good, including total and half incision. It can also be combined with Chinese and Western medicines**.

You can regulate by drinking traditional Chinese medicine, or by puncture**, or by drinking Western medicine, or by listening to the doctor's advice, and ** to regulate your emotions.

It can be substituted**, how much thyroxine can be given to the patient, and thyroxine can also be extracted from animals, such as thyroxine tablets, or some drugs can be used**. It can also be carried out in the way of integrated Chinese and Western medicine**, and at the same time, it can also be performed with surgery**.

**If you have a thyroid function, you need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, and then take medication according to the doctor's instructions, usually rest more, supplement more iodine, and then eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and also add some exercise.
