What Are Symptoms of Thyroid Problems?
9. What Are the Treatment Options for Thyroid Symptoms?
Thyroid symptoms typically improve once the underlying condition is treated. Patients with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism are prescribed medication to level out TSH levels. Normalizing these levels leads to improvement in symptoms.
Patients with thyroid tumors usually need surgery to remove the tumor and possibly the entire thyroid. The nodule or tumor may be tested to see if it is benign. Subacute thyroiditis is a temporary condition that can be treated in early stages with steroids and beta-blockers until symptoms resolve.
