Hypothyroidism is generally manageable with regular monitoring and medication. However, complications or thyroid surgery can lead to significant hospital expenses.
While routine care may be stable, unexpected medical events can increase costs. Choosing an adequate sum insured helps prevent financial strain during such situations.
