I'm going to the specialist about Parathyroidism. Me and my boyfriend live in the same household and we both have it is that rare to happen? I also want to know if they can give you medication instead of the surgery or is that the only treatment?

Hello. Thank you for your question.

That you and your boyfriend both have parathyroidism is likely a coincidence.  Most often surgery is performed, but we cannot say what your doctor will advise.  Below is a resource that I hope will be helpful.
