A member asked:
Are there any specific facts about graves disease that you wish more people knew about? how often do patients with graves disease develop thyroid eye disease? what is your biggest concern when treating graves disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Grave's disease can be treated with medication, surgery or radioactive iodine. The option that is suitable for the patient needs to be discussed with a thyroid specialist. Developing thyroid eye disease is not common and they do not know exactly what number. Likely, 16 per 100,000 women and 2.9 per 100,000 men get it. Concern with Grave's disease is getting treated effectively.
