Dr. Li Ping
Hyperthyroidism can generally be successfully treated. After diagnosis, patients can follow a doctor's guidance to use medication, and most patients can be cured after about two years of treatment. For some patients who experience recurrence, surgical treatment of the thyroid may be recommended under medical supervision, which usually leads to a cure with a relatively low chance of recurrence.
