Melinda BellMelinda Bell knows all too well that hyperthyroidism is much more difficult to treat, can be controlled through medications such as Methimazole and Propylthiouracil, but it is often desirable to convert this condition to hypothyroidism, which is moreeasily and safely managed. However she suffered from cancerous thyroids. Fortunately this type of cancer is typically one of the less aggressive ones generally require surgical removal of the thyroid, resulting in hypothyroidism as a consequence. Radioiodine treatment, a non-invasive method of shutting down the thyroid, is a common method of converting a hyperthyroid condition to hypothyroid. The patient ingests a controlled dose of radioactive iodine that destroys the thyroid over time, allowing the doctor to monitor and stabilize the resulting hypothyroid condition with conventional hormone replacement therapy. Melinda says don't allow thyroid problems to make you old before your time. Get your thyroid checked for proper function, especially if you are a woman, and get your life back.
