Question 4

how do treat hyperthyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Depends on cause: Either the gland itself is at fault or the pituitary gland is at fault.  If the thyroid is causing the hyperthyroidism, surgical excision or chemical ablation can effectively remove the gland. There are medications that can be taken to inhibit thyroid hormone synthesis if you are not a candidate for either of these.  If the pituitary gland is the source of trouble, that can be removed surgically.

could hyperthyroidism be
temporary? in a man?

Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely: Hi. Hyperthyroidism can be temporary in men and women. It's called a subacute or acute thyroiditis and is self-limited, usually followed by a self-limited period of hypothyroidism, and returning to normal over a total of a few months (other courses are also possible). Your numbers definitely could that, but could be other stuff too. See an endocrinologist; they know that stuff. Good luck!
