A 53-year-old female with a persistent condition, experiencing poor response to medication and continued discomfort, is inquiring about treatment methods for thyroid eye disease with eyelid edema and proptosis.
Answer
Hyperthyroidism is a disorder of the endocrine system, which may be triggered by factors such as mental stress, psychological factors, overexertion, or excessive intake of iodine. Symptoms can be varied, including weight loss, excessive sweating, heat intolerance, rapid heart rate, abnormal eating habits, and thyroid enlargement. In severe cases, there may be an occurrence of proptosis. Currently, it is believed that Western medicine has a faster treatment effect, and the specific dosage of medication needs to be taken according to medical advice.
