What causes hyperthyroidism?
Disease description:
My aunt called me today and told me she has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, so I'm really worried. What causes hyperthyroidism?
There are many causes of hyperthyroidism, but most cases are generally triggered by medication or genetic factors, so it is important to visit a hospital for diagnosis and begin treatment as soon as possible. In particular, individuals with elevated thyroid peroxidase antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies are more susceptible to developing hyperthyroidism, especially under increasing stress from work and daily life. Prolonged states of tension and anxiety can contribute to the condition, and currently, the incidence of hyperthyroidism is gradually rising.
