Etiological difference
Etiology of hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disease caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone due to environmental factors, infection, mental stress or trauma, etc. On the basis of heredity, the immune function of the body is disordered.
Causes of hypothyroidism: hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are caused by insufficient thyroid function and insufficient thyroid hormone secretion.
Symptom difference
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism: Patients with hyperthyroidism are generally prone to hunger, overeating, irritability, bad temper, insomnia, mental stress, tachycardia, and slight tremor when reaching out; In severe cases, there will be symptoms such as exophthalmos, closed eyes, jaundice and hyperthyroidism crisis. Female hyperthyroidism patients may also have symptoms such as decreased menstruation, irregular menstruation and even amenorrhea; Men may also have impotence, and occasionally male breasts develop.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism: Patients with hypothyroidism are generally accompanied by symptoms such as lethargy, slow movement, memory loss, slow thinking, fatigue, muscle weakness, loss of appetite, bradycardia, palpitation, anemia, mucinous edema, etc. Some patients with hypothyroidism may also have symptoms such as numbness, tingling, clumsy fingers and scaly yellow-white skin. In addition, patients with hypothyroidism have more menstrual flow and galactorrhea, and amenorrhea will occur after a long illness; Male patients may also have decreased sexual desire.
Treatment difference
Treatment of hyperthyroidism: hyperthyroidism can be treated with drugs, and the combination of Prunella oral liquid and Eupatorium can promote the relief of goiter and reduce the antibody titer; Combined with thyroid tablets, reducing antibody titer to control the disease generally requires long-term medication, and the specific methods are in accordance with the doctor's advice; In addition, patients with hyperthyroidism can also choose surgery and remove most of the thyroid gland. This treatment method has a high radical cure rate, but it has certain risks. At present, the better method to treat hyperthyroidism is to use multi-target gland remodeling technology. Through the physical cold circulation system, thyroid biological immune factors are introduced into the lesion site of the gland to inhibit the vigorous thyroid cells and completely reshape the function of the whole thyroid.
Treatment of hypothyroidism: Compared with hyperthyroidism, the treatment of hypothyroidism is simpler. At present, the treatment of hypothyroidism is mainly to supplement thyroxine, regulate human immune function in two directions through physical means, repair damaged thyroid cells and make thyroid hormone secrete normally.
