(1) Thyroid hormone replacement therapy: hypothyroidism is caused by the lack of thyroid hormones in the body, so thyroid hormone replacement therapy is needed. Supplementary thyroxine preparation, not only the rapid effect, the efficacy is remarkable, and continue to take the right amount of thyroid hormone preparation, but also conducive to the patient to stabilize the condition. Thyroid hormone preparations commonly used in clinical practice include thyroid tablets and levothyroxine (L-T4). (2) Etiologic treatment: If there is an etiologic cause that can be removed, etiologic treatment should be carried out. For example, iodine deficiency hypothyroidism should be given iodine supplementation; hypothyroidism caused by high iodide should stop using iodide; hypothyroidism caused by medication can disappear on its own after decreasing the dosage or stopping the use of medication; hypothyroidism occurs in 3%-4% of the cases of lithium treatment of psychosis, and can be improved by stopping the medication; hypothalamus or pituitary gland has a large tumor, and hypothyroidism may be improved to different degrees after tumor resection; sub-Thyroiditis, painless thyroiditis, and transient hypothyroidism may also disappear when the primary pathology is cured. After cure, hypothyroidism will disappear.
If the hypothyroidism is caused by medication, it can disappear on its own after the dosage is reduced or discontinued; if there is a large tumor in the hypothalamus or pituitary gland, hypothyroidism can be improved to different degrees after the tumor is removed; if the hypothyroidism is caused by subacute thyroiditis, hypothyroidism can disappear after the subacute thyroiditis is cured; and if it is caused by long-term iodine deficiency, iodine needs to be replenished. "Hypothyroidism is a metabolic disease caused by a variety of causes of thyroid insufficiency, resulting in low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood. In terms of treatment, western medicine mostly uses thyroid hormone replacement therapy, often taking thyroxine tablets or eugenol, to replenish the thyroid hormone in the body. This passive traditional therapy does not restore thyroid function to normal, and affects the physiological function of the normal thyroid follicles that have not yet been destroyed. Therefore, patients form a dependence and need to take medication for a lifetime. After taking thyroxine tablets, the symptoms can be improved, but once the medication is stopped, the symptoms will rebound immediately. In fact, this disease can be cured, most of the patients after a period of time systematic, formalized combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment, is completely recoverable. Therefore, patients should not blindly take medication, and must be treated under the guidance of a professional physician. In recent years, with the development of Gaoke Zhi, our hospital adopts the world's first local intervention therapy of thyroid gland and Chinese medicine to treat "hypothyroidism" with enlarged or swollen thyroid gland (nodule, cystic tumor, solid tumor...), first of all, to protect the damaged thyroid gland tissue, not to let it continue to be destroyed. Firstly, it protects the damaged thyroid tissues from further destruction, so that the swelling will shrink to disappear, and then the damaged thyroid tissues will gradually recover their functions. This treatment is non-invasive, painless, inexpensive, and has a high effective rate and cure rate. Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners have a deep understanding of this disease and have summarized some effective Chinese medicine prescriptions. This disease belongs to the scope of "deficiency labor" disease of motherland medicine, which is mostly blamed on the deficiency of liver and kidney, insufficiency of qi and blood, liver and kidney deficiencies, and deficiency of both yin and yang. At the same time of local intervention of thyroid gland, Chinese herbal medicines are added to benefit qi and warm yang, replenish qi and blood, and nourish the liver and kidneys. It regulates the body fluid, qi and blood, yin and yang, protects and nourishes the normal thyroid follicles, relieves aging and prolongs the life of the follicles, nourishes and repairs the damaged, dormant and apoptotic thyroid follicles, reduces the death, and restores the physiological function gradually, which not only eliminates the common symptoms such as mucus oedema, fatigue and drowsiness, irritability, alopecia, and constipation, but also improves the immunity and regulates the endocrine system, and achieves the effects of symptomatic and radical treatment, and overcomes the dependency and toxic side effects of thyroid hormone completely. Hormone dependence and toxic side effects, the purpose of which is to reduce the dose of alternative medicines such as thyroxine tablets and ultimately get rid of such medicines. Practice has proved that the cure rate and efficiency of hypothyroidism are different according to the different types of symptoms in Chinese medicine. Short history of disease, the disease is light on the efficacy of good, long history of disease, the disease is heavy on the efficacy of poor, as long as the thyroid tissue is not completely destroyed, the function is not a complete loss of the person, through the intervention and traditional Chinese medicine is able to recover, do not need to take medication for a lifetime.
