treatment of hyperparathyroidism?
494609
How is hyperparathyroidism treated?\n\nSurgery to remove the enlarged gland (or glands) is the only treatment for the disorder and cures it in 95 percent of cases.\n\nHowever, some patients who have mild disease may not need immediate treatment, according to a panel of experts convened by the National Institutes of Health in 1990. Patients who are symptom-free, whose blood calcium is only slightly elevated, and whose kidneys and bones are normal, may wish to talk to their doctor about long-term monitoring. In the panel's recommendation, monitoring would consist of clinical evaluation and measurement of calcium levels and kidney function every 6 months, annual abdominal x-ray, and bone mass measurement after 1 to 2 years. If the disease shows no signs of worsening after 1 to 3 years, the interval between exams may be lengthened. If the patient and doctor choose long-term followup, the patient should try to drink lots of water, get plenty of exercise, and avoid certain diuretics, such as the thiazides. Immobilization and gastrointestinal illness with vomiting or diarrhea can cause calcium levels to rise, and if these conditions develop, patients with hyperparathyroidism should seek medical attention.\n\nHope all this info helped.\nAll the best!

A urologist can diagnose the disease and suggest treatment, though treatment is limited since Peyronie's disease is not fully understood. Treatment usually takes the form of surgery and oral medications. Tablets of vitamin E 800 mg/day or potassium aminobenzoate (Potaba) 12 g/day may produce some improvement; you will need a doctor’s prescription. Don’t be tempted to take higher doses of vitamin E.

I have hypodthyroidism too. (Im 26 and was diagnosed at 20.) Fortunately, generic synthroid does work for me. Is it the dosage that is too low? or something else? When I was first diagnosed, they had to increase my dosage twice (once was a month after being diagnosed). Sometimes it takes time to get your levels right.  Though, I met someone recently who told me that synthroid alone did not work for her. Either way, if your doctor isnt willing to prescribe anything but synthroid or the generic form, maybe you should see another doctor and get a second opinion. Are you goign to your internist/family doctor or are you seeing an endocrinologist? I would think an endocrinologist would give you whatever it takes to make you better. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

Parathyroid functions in control of plasma calcium and phosphate. Thyroid is an endocrine gland which secrets Thyroxine(T4), Triodothyronine(T3) and Calcitonin. The first two hormones function in control of metabolic rate, growth, brain development and brain functioning. The last one functions in control of plasma calcium. \nGood luck with your homework.

no, surgery is not the only solution, the doctors can give her medication through IV that will break the stones and she will be able to get them out through the urinary track. Don't let them operate until they try that. My stepmother had the same problem, and they were able to resolve it without operating

**Treatment of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis is controversial and should be managed by an orthopedic specialist.** \n\nTherapeutic modalities include rest and lumbar bracing to prevent hyperextension (excessive stretching of the back).\n\nSurgical fusion is indicated for intractable pain.\n\n-random physician

Fosamax or Actonel are currently the best absorbed calcium supplements. You could try to get 30min of direct sun light (suntan), this will help you absorb more calcium. Or you could try different calcium suplements at the same time. But you have to do this with the doctor, because too much calcium in the urine could lead to kidney stones and urinary problems.

There are Doctor's called Urologists.  They take care of these issues.  They may elect to perform an operation to remove the stone, or elect to have you undergo lithotripsy which involves non-invasive pummeling of the stone using sound waves to break it up.  See a uruologist.  PEACE

Treatment and management\n\nIndividuals with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia should be under routine health supervision by a physician who is familiar with the disorder, its complications, and its treatment.\nCongenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia\n\nTreatment is mostly symptomatic, and may include:\n\n    * Orthopedic care throughout life. Early surgical interventional may be needed to correct clubfoot and/or cleft palate. Hip, spinal, and knee complications may occur, and hip replacement is sometimes warranted in adults. Additionally, arthritis may develop due to poorly developed type II collagen. Spinal fusion may be indicated if evaluation of the cervical vertebrae C1 and C2 detects odontoid hypoplasia. If the odontoid is hypoplastic or small, it may predispose to instability and spinal cord compression in congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia).\n    * Ophthalmologic examinations are important for the prevention of retinal detachment and treatment of myopia and early retinal tears if they occur.\n    * Hearing should be checked and ear infections should be closely monitored. Tubes may need to be placed in the ear.\n    * Due to neck instability, persons with SEDC should exercise caution to avoid activities/sports that could result in trauma to the neck or head.\n\nIndividuals with congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia should be closely monitored during anesthesia and for complications during a respiratory infection. In particular, during anesthesia, special attention is required to avoid spinal injury resulting from lax ligaments causing instability in the neck. This condition may also result in spinal injury in contact sports and car accidents. Chest constriction may also cause decreased lung capacity.\nSpondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda\n\nTreatment is mostly symptomatic, and may include:\n\n    * Physical therapy to relieve joint stiffness and pain.\n    * Orthopedic care may be needed at different times throughout life. Bone changes of the femoral head often lead to secondary osteoarthritis during adulthood and some patients require total replacement of the hip before the age of 40 years.\n\nSome individuals with short stature resulting from spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia may consider limb-lengthening surgery. This is a controversial surgery that lengthens leg and arm bones by cutting the bones, constructing metal frames around them, and inserting pins into them to move the cut ends apart. New bone tissue fills in the gap. While the surgery can be effective in lengthening limbs, various complications may occur.\nPrognosis\n\nPrognosis is variable dependent upon severity of the disorder. Generally, congenital spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia is more symptomatic than spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda. Neither form of the disorder generally leads to shortened life span. Cognitive function is generally normal.

Eat more whole foods.  Avoid all soy.  Soy slows down the thyroid function.  Use Celtic Sea salt.  Take 3 tablespoons of virgin coconut oil per day.  I take 1 tablespoon with each meal.  The coconut oil will rev up your metabolism.  Take a whole mulitvitamin.  I like http://www.drrons.com/ his does not have any of the additives.  And you will eventually not need thyroid medication.  You can also check out Dr. Bruce Rind's website he is an expert in throid and adrenal glands problems.  About 20 percent of his patients fly in from out of town.  His office is in Washington, DC.\n\nhttp://www.drrind.com/

Please, please, please don't "look for an alternative to conventional meds," as you can't believe how many screwed up patients I've seen as a result of trying to fix a thyroid problem with unconventional means.  This can be really, really dangerous.  Talk with your doctor.

you need a HIGH CALCIUM DIET dear :)\n\nif taking supplements, it needs to have vitamin D with it so that the body can absorb the calcium. The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium.\n\nDo you have any parathyroid problems? (hyperparathyroidism)If so, you need to be taking Calcitrol. But your doctor would have told you this, so just look up foods that have high calcium and eat those!
