This disorder can cause osteoporosis by making too much of a hormone that leads your body to take calcium from bones. If your symptoms are mild, your doctor may decide to wait and see if they get worse. Or you may take medications like estrogen and bisphosphonates to get your body to make less of the PTH hormone so your bones can rebuild. But drugs won’t cure your hyperparathyroidism.
If you have a growth on your parathyroid glands and have symptoms, your doctor probably will recommend surgery to remove it. Your symptoms should stop within a month of having it taken off. The growth usually doesn't come back.
