Dr. Chaitanya Mamillapalli answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Depends on the diagn: If the hyperthyroidism is because of excessive hormone production. There are 3 options to treat 1. Antithyroid medication for 2 years 2. Radiodine 3.Surgery. Each of these options has its own benefits and risks and one needs to discuss with their endocrinologists to see which treatment best suits them.
