Thyroid Treatment
Thyroid treatment primarily focuses on managing conditions related to the thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism and energy levels. Common treatments include hormone replacement therapy for hypothyroidism, where synthetic hormones like levothyroxine are prescribed to restore normal hormone levels.
For hyperthyroidism, treatments may involve medications that reduce hormone production, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery to remove part of the thyroid gland. Regular monitoring through blood tests helps ensure that hormone levels remain balanced, allowing individuals to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
