What is the best treament for graves?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends.: For different situations, the best treatment may be surgery to remove the thyroid, radioactive iodine to kill the thyroid, or medications to slow the thyroid down. Radioactive iodine is the most-used treatment in the us, while surgery is seldom used for graves' disease. Talk with your doctor to find out which treatment might be the best one for you.
