Optional Information

Age: 60; Female, Japan

Already Tried:
I live in Crete, Greece where the incidence of Hasimoto is 300 times that of other places. The doctors here say it is incurable and will lead to the thyroid having to me removed as soon as nodules appear. I have now ordered chinese herbs from Dr. Chang for thyroid disorders. The doctor here will not prescribe anything as the hormones produced by my thyroid are still adequate. However the illness is progressing.

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an Immune mediated disease that causes destruction of Thyroid Cells.

While this immune reaction against normal thyroid cells cannot be reversed, treatment would be Oral administration of Thyroid Hormone, Levo Thyroxine.

If the size of Goiter is very large then Cosmetic Surgery can be considered.

Kind Regards,

Dr.Joshi
