Who Gains the Most Weight After Hyperthyroidism Treatment?

Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) makes the body burn calories very quickly, often causing weight loss even with increased appetite. After treatment, when thyroid function returns to normal—or sometimes becomes underactive—the metabolism slows down, leading to weight gain. Research shows that patients with Graves’ disease usually gain the most weight after treatment. Those who were very thin at diagnosis may notice a big increase once their body regains balance. Patients treated with radioiodine or surgery also tend to gain more weight than those treated only with medicines, especially if they become underactive and require thyroid hormone replacement. In short, weight gain after hyperthyroidism treatment is common, and it depends on the type of disease, the treatment method, and the patient’s starting weight. Careful follow-up and lifestyle adjustments can help keep weight under control.

Who gains the most weight after hyperthyroidism treatment?

When someone has hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), their body burns calories very fast. Many people lose a lot of weight during this illness, even if they eat more food.

After treatment, when the thyroid is brought back to normal or becomes underactive, the body’s burning speed (metabolism) slows down. Because of this, weight often increases.

People with Graves’ disease usually gain more weight after treatment.

Those who were very thin at the time of diagnosis can gain a lot when their body returns to normal balance.

Patients treated with radioiodine or surgery may gain more weight compared to those on medicines only, especially if they become underactive and need thyroid hormone tablets.

ہائپر تھائرائیڈزم کے علاج کے بعد سب سے زیادہ وزن کس کا بڑھتا ہے؟

جب کسی کو ہائپر تھائرائیڈزم (تھائرائیڈ کا زیادہ کام کرنا) ہوتا ہے تو جسم بہت تیزی سے کیلوریز جلاتا ہے۔ اسی وجہ سے زیادہ تر مریضوں کا وزن کم ہو جاتا ہے، چاہے وہ کھانا زیادہ بھی کھائیں۔

علاج کے بعد جب تھائرائیڈ نارمل یا کمزور (کم کام کرنے والا) ہو جاتا ہے تو جسم کا جلانے کا نظام (میٹابولزم) سست ہو جاتا ہے۔ اس سے وزن تیزی سے بڑھنے لگتا ہے۔

گریوز بیماری (Graves’ disease) والے مریضوں کا وزن زیادہ بڑھتا ہے۔

جو مریض علاج سے پہلے بہت دبلا ہو گیا ہو، اس کا وزن زیادہ تیزی سے بڑھ سکتا ہے۔

ریڈیو آئیوڈین یا سرجری سے علاج کرانے والے مریضوں کا وزن زیادہ بڑھنے کے امکانات ہوتے ہیں، خاص طور پر اگر علاج کے بعد تھائرائیڈ کمزور ہو جائے اور انہیں ہارمون کی گولی کھانی پڑے۔
