I wonder the hyperthyroidism can be changed to the cancer
Hello. I have had the hyperthyroidism since 14
and I'm 19 now. I'm taking a hormon drug until now
but my hormon dgree is going to be normal,and a dosage is decreased. umm... my disease is transmitted from the mother's family
recently, I have proded my thyroid and suffer(not so hard pain)
I was heard the hyperthyroidism can be changed to the cancer
So I wonder it is true and what is proper care for my disease

Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that it is not necessary that because you have hyperthyroidism you got cancer. There is chance that this cancer runs in the family, so if your mother or father has cancer you also got cancer. Right now For your hyperthyroidism it is necessary that it will be treated with hormone replacement only.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
Dr. Arun Tank. Infectious Disease.
