The poster has a misunderstanding about hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is different from hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism requires lifelong medication. So far, there is still no medication in China that can cure hypothyroidism without lifelong medication. Hypothyroidism is caused by the body being unable to secrete enough thyroxine on its own because it needs to be replaced by medication. Therefore, when the thyroid hormone is completely supplemented when taking medication, the body will have no symptoms. However, once thyroxine is insufficient, symptoms will follow one after another, and long-term insufficiency will occur. Treatment can cause numerous complications, such as depression, dementia, etc.

However, patients are often worried that long-term medication will have negative side effects, but in fact this is also a misunderstanding. Hypothyroidism drugs basically do not affect liver and kidney function, and long-term use will not cause many problems. Abroad, after adults suffer from hyperthyroidism, 90% of the patients are directly treated with iodine 131 in the hospital, while the remaining 10% often choose other methods of treatment because they cannot do iodine 131 for various reasons. Iodine 131 can easily cause Hypothyroidism, but foreign medical systems believe that hypothyroidism is better than hyperthyroidism.
