Surgery is generally required for treatment. If there is parathyroid hyperplasia or adenoma, surgical intervention can be considered. The above conditions are usually skeletal abnormalities caused by hyperthyroidism in the patient's body. Excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone leads to bone breakdown, resulting in symptoms such as bone decalcification, osteoporosis, and fibrocystic osteitis. Patients need to pay close attention to their diet and ensure a balanced and appropriate nutritional intake.
