Let me explain: There is no specific treatment available for hyperthyroidism. This is because several factors decide which therapy will be chosen by the practitioner in order to treat the disease. These include the age of the patient, severity, degree of the disease, and the associated symptoms. 1-drug therapy: Methimazole and propylthiouraci. 2. Radioactive iodine therapy. 3-3. Surgery - thyroidectomy. Good luc.
