What are the precautions for patients with hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism is actually what we call hyperthyroidism. Many cases of hyperthyroidism are caused by endocrine disorders and genetics. Moreover, many patients will have complications, and patients with severe hyperthyroidism will have multiple complications.

Causes of Hyperthyroidism

The induction of hyperthyroidism is closely related to autoimmunity, genetics and environmental factors, among which autoimmunity is the most important. Unfortunately, the occurrence and development process of thyroid autoimmunity is still unclear, so it is difficult to find a way to prevent it.

Genetic factors are also important, but the genetic background and mode of inheritance have not been clarified, so it is difficult to prevent it from a genetic perspective.

Environmental factors mainly include various factors that induce hyperthyroidism, such as trauma, mental stimulation, infection, etc. Although many hyperthyroidisms are mainly related to autoimmune and genetic factors, whether or not the disease occurs is closely related to environmental factors. For example, if you encounter the triggering factors, you will get sick, but if you avoid the triggering factors, you will not get sick. Therefore, it can be seen that the onset of some hyperthyroidism patients may be prevented under the condition of avoiding the triggering factors.

(1) Infection: such as cold, tonsillitis, pneumonia, etc.

(2) External injuries: such as car accidents, trauma, etc.

(3) Mental stimulation: such as mental tension, worry, etc.

(4) Overexertion: such as overwork, etc.

Preventive Health Care

1. Prevention before illness: Emotional factors play an important role in the onset of hyperthyroidism. "Ji Sheng Fang. On Treatment of Tumors" says: "Tumors are mostly caused by excessive anger and worry." Therefore, to prevent hyperthyroidism, we should first keep a happy spirit and a good mood in our daily life. Secondly, a reasonable diet and avoid irritating foods are also important preventive measures; at the same time, it is important to keep a regular daily routine and not work in vain; it is also important to support the spleen and stomach, strengthen the body, and improve one's immunity and disease resistance.

2. Prevent the disease from spreading: Preventing the disease before it happens is the most ideal prevention. However, if hyperthyroidism has already occurred, it should be diagnosed and treated early to prevent the disease from spreading, that is, to prevent the disease from getting worse and the occurrence of complications. "Suwen. Yuji Zhenzang Lunpian" says: "The five internal organs are connected, and the movement has a sequence. If the five internal organs are sick, they will spread to the one they conquer." Therefore, according to the law of the occurrence of hyperthyroidism complications, preventive measures should be taken to prevent the occurrence of complications and control the transformation of the disease.

3. Prevent recurrence after recovery: As the saying goes, "When illness comes, it's like a mountain falling, and when illness goes, it's like pulling out a thread." This is a vivid metaphor for the body's need to recover after illness. The loss of body fluid has a recovery process. If you are not careful at this time, the original illness may be delayed and relapse. Therefore, in the initial recovery stage, comprehensive adjustment of medicine, diet, spirit, medicated diet, etc., and regular inspections and careful monitoring are important measures to prevent recurrence after illness.

In general: ① Coastal areas should pay attention to iodine-containing foods in their diets, and it is recommended not to use high-iodine diets to prevent iodine hyperthyroidism; ② In inland areas (iodine-deficient areas), iodine supplementation should be limited, and taking thyroid tablets should also have a time limit; ③ Thyroid B-ultrasound or thyroid function should be added to the physical health survey to detect hyperthyroidism patients early. When hyperthyroidism patients are detected passively, the disease is often delayed by 2 to 3 years. Avoiding mental temptations, regular life, and a balance between work and rest are good for preventing the disease.
