Reduced thyroid activity


To diagnose hyperthyroidism, need to do some blood tests. There are three methods of treatment: drugs, radioactive iodine and surgical intervention.
Medications taken not only to stop excessive hormone production, but to induce remission. However, in most cases, it fails to achieve long-term remission in adults, and the next stage is applied therapy with radioactive iodine "atomic cocktail", taken by mouth. Produces hormones thyroid cells absorb iodine and die under the influence of radioactivity. As a result, the thyroid gland produces fewer hormones. If there are reasons for not allowing to use radioactive iodine, surgically remove part of the prostate.
Do not be surprised, but radioactive iodine used to treat hyperthyroidism more than 50 years. Doctors believe that this treatment is safe side effects are minor. "After treatment with radioactive iodine thyroid operation can be adjusted daily hormone intake, as in the case of hyperthyroidism," said Dr. McFarland. In both cases it is sufficient to take each day one tablet, and the tablet cheap.
Marjorie began with taking drugs designed to alleviate the thyroid activity. But she found an increased sensitivity to them. She moved to radioactive iodine.
"Before the treatment I barely had the strength to go to work, she says, not to mention the domestic affairs. And I was always on edge, you know, so nervous, overwrought. After treatment with radioactive iodine, I immediately began to recover. But a year has passed more than a year or until the hormone dosage was adjusted and I felt completely back to normal. "
