Which is easier to treat, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism?

The occurrence of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism is harmful to the body, and the causing factor is abnormal secretion of the thyroid gland. There is no saying that one treatment is easier for hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. The treatment mainly depends on the patient's physical condition and illness.

1. Hypothyroidism, or hypothyroidism, is a clinical syndrome caused by thyroid hormone deficiency and decreased metabolic activity of the body.

Hyperthyroidism is the abbreviation of hyperthyroidism, which is a group of common endocrine diseases caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormones due to various reasons.

2. The two diseases can also be clearly distinguished from their clinical manifestations.

In hypothyroidism, insufficient thyroid hormone levels cause the body's metabolism to be too low, resulting in edema, fear of cold, drowsiness, loss of appetite, constipation, etc. Childhood hypothyroidism can also cause growth retardation and intellectual development disorders.

The symptoms of hyperthyroidism are just the opposite. The increase in hormones synthesized by the thyroid gland causes a series of symptoms of excessive metabolism in the human body, such as palpitations, excessive appetite and hunger accompanied by obvious weight loss, heat intolerance and sweating, several bowel movements a day, fatigue, tremors in the hands and feet, inability to hold a pen or chopsticks in severe cases, swollen eyes, bulging eyeballs, and irritability. Some people with hypokalemia may also experience periodic paralysis and paralysis of the lower limbs. Male patients may experience impotence, and female patients often have menstrual abnormalities.
