Hyperthyroidism is a clinical syndrome caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone. The body will feel flustered, emaciation, shaking hands, thick neck, irritability and other discomfort.

The inducing factors of thyroid gland are as follows:

Family or genetic factors, it is reported that 20%-25% of hyperthyroidism patients have had this disease in their close relatives, and perhaps the same living environment and genetic background are related to their families.

History of autoimmune diseases, autoimmune diseases can induce hyperthyroidism.

Estrogen in women can up-regulate thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptors in adenohypophysis cells and promote thyroid hormone secretion, thus inducing hyperthyroidism.

Severe mental stimulation, some patients have obvious history of mental stimulation or trauma before clinical symptoms appear, such as anxiety, sadness, panic and so on. Severe mental stimulation can make thyroid function abnormal, and reduced adrenocortical hormone can not effectively inhibit thyroid secretion, which leads to hyperthyroidism.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: in the early stage of hyperthyroidism, liver qi stagnated and liver depression turned into fire, and the treatment was mainly to clear liver and drain liver. In the middle and late stage, liver fire is flourishing, phlegm and blood coagulation are blocked, and even both qi and yin are deficient. The treatment is mainly based on purging fire, benefiting qi and nourishing yin, while paying attention to resolving phlegm and promoting blood circulation.

While actively cooperating with drug treatment, we should also adjust our living habits.

Diet: Hyperthyroidism patients have increased basal metabolism and usually consume more, so the heat supply should be guaranteed. Usually a diet rich in calories, vitamins, protein and minerals should be given.

Exercise: Patients with hyperthyroidism should exercise regularly, which is helpful to improve their quality of life, maintain good muscle tension, protect the cardiovascular system and reduce their appetite. In addition, weight-bearing exercise can effectively maintain the bone density of hyperthyroidism patients.

Lifestyle: Hyperthyroidism patients should work and rest regularly, quit smoking and drinking, don't stay up late, use less eyes, watch less mobile TV, wear colored glasses to protect their eyes from the sun and wind, and use eye drops to relieve dry and itchy eyes.

Hyperthyroidism patients should control their emotions, don't quarrel, don't get angry, don't get excited. Family members and friends should understand patients and avoid mental stimulation.
