Depends on the underlying cause

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, there can be permanent cure for thyroid problems depending upon the underlying cause.

For example if it is iodine deficiency hypothyroidism, it can get cured once the iodine levels are replenished.

Likewise, when the underlying cause is treatable the thyroid problem can be cured.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
