Introduction
Weight gain after I-131 treatment can generally be reduced. The symptom of weight gain in patients is mainly caused by the side effects of medication. Once the patient's condition is effectively controlled, they may appropriately reduce or discontinue the medication under a doctor's guidance. These medications will gradually be eliminated from the body through normal metabolic processes.

Experiencing weight gain following I-1131 therapy is usually a normal phenomenon. The main cause of weight gain in patients is the side effects of medication. Once the patient's condition is effectively controlled, the dosage may be appropriately reduced or discontinued under medical supervision. These medications will gradually be eliminated from the body through natural metabolism, and the symptoms of obesity will subsequently improve, potentially allowing the patient to return to their original body shape. Weight gain after I-131 treatment can also be managed through dietary control and exercise. It is advisable to consume light, easily digestible foods regularly and reduce intake of high-calorie, high-fat foods.
During I-131 treatment, patients are advised to maintain a positive mindset and actively cooperate with their doctors to help restore basal metabolism to normal levels and minimize adverse effects on bodily functions.
