What Is Hashimoto's Disease?
10. Treatment
Hashimoto’s disease is typically achieved with help of medication. This includes the use of synthetic hormones that do the same task as the natural hormones they are designed to replace. It is important that the right dosage is used because too much of the synthetic hormone can itself result in some rather unwelcome symptoms.
Some people might need different combinations of synthetic hormones in other for their symptoms to be cured.
Once the dosage is set, your hormone levels will still need to be monitored every year to help ensure the balance is correct. Complications like heart failure will also need to be treated, and this can involve medication, and having the patient make lifestyle changes.
