Welcome to EmpowHER. Depending on the type of Thyroid condition you have.
Treatments for Hyperthyroidism
Thyroid hormone production can be suppressed or halted completely in these ways:
Radioactive iodide treatment
Antithyroid medication
Surgery
Treating Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism calls for a lifelong regimen of thyroid replacement. No surgical techniques or conventional drugs can increase the thyroid's hormone production once it slows down. Although hormones from animal extracts are available, doctors generally prescribe synthetic forms of thyroid hormone, such as levothyroxine.
