Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism, in the strict sense, is not a disease. However, this is an abnormal condition of the body, which can lead to serious consequences and, in particular, the appearance of various diseases (for example, myxedema). A symptom of hypothyroidism is an insufficient production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. The result is a slowdown in metabolism, which manifests itself as weakness, slowness of mental activity and speech, and a feeling of lack of sleep.

Treatment of hypothyroidism abroad will help to get rid of these problems and avoid more serious consequences. Foreign specialists are armed with extensive experience in the successful treatment of various hormonal disorders. Moreover, they have at their disposal the latest medicines that foreign clinics have in abundance.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of hypothyroidism, abroad or in Russia, is always difficult due to the lack of characteristic symptoms. However, an integrated approach allows foreign specialists to identify the disease with all its individual characteristics.

Diagnosis of hypothyroidism abroad includes several examinations:

  •  hormone analysis. Since the main sign of hypothyroidism is a lack of certain hormones, their concentration in the blood is being investigated. Attention is mainly focused on the level of thyroid and pituitary hormones.;
  •  laboratory blood test. The biochemical composition of blood is studied with an emphasis on the concentration of lipids;
  •  ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland. It provides detailed information about the morphological structure of the gland. Abnormalities in it can be the cause of hypothyroidism. Abroad, this is a mandatory stage of diagnosis.;
  •  scintigraphy of the thyroid gland. The radioisotope study of its tissues and metabolic processes helps to clarify the functioning of the gland.

Medical treatment

Effective treatment of hypothyroidism abroad always takes time, since the elimination of disruptions in the complex functioning of the thyroid gland requires intensive and long-term therapy.

Depending on the individual case, specialists can prescribe one of two types of treatment. The first is substitution therapy. The method is based on artificial replacement of deficient hormones. For this purpose, high–quality hormonal drugs, synthetic thyroid analogues, are used in foreign clinics. However, due to the fact that the functions of the pancreas remain abnormal, it gradually atrophies. And hormone intake must be followed for life.

Rehabilitation therapy

An innovative analogue of medical treatment of hypothyroidism abroad is rehabilitation therapy. It is based on computer reflexology – the effect on biologically active points of the body using a high-tech computer system. Thus, it is possible to eliminate dysfunctions in the thyroid gland and normalize the natural production of thyroids.

Rehabilitation therapy has unique advantages:

  •  You can do without taking hormones for life.
  •  the thyroid gland retains its functional activity;
  •  there are no side effects that are inevitable with hormone therapy.
