Thyroid disease is a disorder caused by the thyroid gland that functions in the body's metabolism. It is often found in women more than men in the proportion about 5 to 1, many people may have seen the news actor. Where is this disease And have different physical symptoms That's because there are many types of thyroid disease. Which can be divided as follows
1. The thyroid produces excess hormones. Or thyroid poisoning
This type of thyroid can be
found at any age. Patients have tremors,
palpitations, shaky hands, irritability,
sweating easily, insomnia, eating a lot,
but losing weight. As if it was burning
all the time Body weight can lose 5 to
10 kg within a month, even without
exercise. However, about 10% of people
gain weight because they consume a
higher amount of food than their body
burns. The treatment can be done by
taking anti-thyroid drugs for about 2
years, while in the long-term after
stopping the drug need to be checked
again. Because many people, when they
stop taking medication, have a 70% risk
of recurrence.
2. The
thyroid produces low
hormones.
Patients
with thyroid disease produce low levels
of hormones. Often the opposite of the
thyroid hormone production is rarely
metabolized. Easy weight gain Rapid
weight gain, lethargy, chills,
constipation, frequent sleepiness, and a
lot of sleep. Obese people must always
have thyroid. Initially, you can observe
yourself from the past and present
behaviors that have changed much. If
found to be at risk, you should check to
be sure. For the treatment of a
low-hormone-producing thyroid, it is
easier to do than a thyroid that
produces an excess of hormones. Because
it can be treated by eating thyroid
hormones To bring the hormones back to
balance The body is able to metabolize
normally. Most often they have to eat
for the rest of their
lives.
3.
Nodules on the thyroid
gland
In case a
nodule is found on the thyroid gland
Patients are often worried that they
will get cancer. The answer is not
always necessary. To find out if
it's cancerous, a nodule must be
punctured into the thyroid gland to be
examined. In the past, only 5% were
found to be diagnosed with cancer. Other
than that, it is just a normal lump that
isn't dangerous. Which if the cube
does not affect our daily life Doctors
would not recommend surgery because the
area contains both vocal cords. And many
blood vessels But should follow the
symptoms regularly
4.
Causes and risk
factors
The
thyroid produces excess hormones and low
thyroid hormones are not the underlying
cause of the disease. But medically, it
is believed that genetics may play a
role. Patients with this disease tend to
have the same family with thyroid
disease. Let's say our father has a
thyroid disease. We may have more rights
to thyroid than others. While taking too
much or too little iodine can also be a
risk.
