If you’re experiencing symptoms of a thyroid disorder, it’s important to get treatment as soon as possible. There are a variety of thyroid treatments available, and the best one for you will depend on the specific condition you’re experiencing.

Some common thyroid treatments include medication, surgery, and radiation therapy. Medication is the most common type of treatment, and it’s usually the first option that doctors recommend. Medications can be taken orally or by injection, and they can be used to treat both benign and malignant conditions.

Surgical treatment options include thyroidectomy (removal of the thyroid gland) and thyroid radiation therapy. Thyroidectomy is the most common type of surgery, and it’s usually done to treat benign conditions. Thyroid radiation therapy is used to treat malignant conditions, and it can be either external (through the skin) or internal (through the chest).

Radiation therapy is a last resort option, and it’s usually only used in cases where other treatments haven’t worked. Radiation therapy can be used to treat both benign and malignant conditions, and it can be delivered in a number of ways, including external radiation therapy, radioactive iodine therapy, and brachytherapy (in which radioactive material is placed directly into the thyroid gland).
