Treatment with thyroid hormone may be used when a goitre is present or the body’s natural thyroid hormone production is decreased or TSH level increased. This treatment is called replacement therapy. [labtestsonline.org.au]

The doctor may also request blood tests to ensure that no other autoimmune condition is present or developing. How is Hashimoto’s disease treated? Treatment is carried out as an outpatient and depends on how well the thyroid gland is working. [yourhormones.info]

  Symptoms are those of hypothyroidism, such as weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, and fatigue; in addition, the thyroid is markedly enlarged, in many cases causing a visible goitre, which is firm and rubbery but is not usually tender. [labtestsonline.org.au]

  The most common symptoms include the following: fatigue, weight gain, pale or puffy face, feeling cold, joint and muscle pain, constipation, dry and thinning hair, heavy menstrual flow or irregular periods, depression, panic disorder, a slowed heart rate [en.wikipedia.org]

  Nevertheless, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity is a substantial factor behind the apoptotic fall-out of Hashimoto's thyroiditis. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Myxedema

  On gross examination, there is often presentation of a hard goiter that is not painful to the touch; [21] other symptoms seen with hypothyroidism, such as periorbital myxedema, depend on the current state of progression of the response, especially given [en.wikipedia.org]

• Dyspnea

  Rare cases of fibrous autoimmune thyroiditis present with severe dyspnea (shortness of breath) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), resembling aggressive thyroid tumors – but such symptoms always improve with surgery or corticosteroid therapy. [en.wikipedia.org]

No treatment is needed in these cases. Treatment with thyroid hormone may be used when a goitre is present or the body’s natural thyroid hormone production is decreased or TSH level increased. This treatment is called replacement therapy. [labtestsonline.org.au]

Treatment is carried out as an outpatient and depends on how well the thyroid gland is working. An overactive gland usually settles down by itself and hypothyroidism develops with time. [yourhormones.info]

In most cases, the treatment needs to be taken for the rest of the person's life. [en.wikipedia.org]

Outlook (Prognosis) The disease stays stable for years. If it does slowly progress to thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), it can be treated with hormone replacement therapy. [account.allinahealth.org]
