Hyperparathyroidism Treatment

Hyperparathyroidism is a condition where the parathyroid glands produce too much hormone, leading to high calcium levels in the blood. Treatment often involves surgery to remove the overactive gland, especially if it causes symptoms or complications. In some cases, medications may be prescribed to manage calcium levels and symptoms. Lifestyle changes, like staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet, can also help. Regular monitoring of calcium and kidney function is essential to ensure health and prevent complications. The approach depends on the severity of the condition and the patient's overall health.
