In addition, it helps with normal development and growth for children and plays an important role in brain development and nervous system formation for fetuses and infants. If an imbalance in metabolic processes occurs due to thyroid hormone problems, it is also a disease that cannot be left unattended because it affects daily life with various symptoms. The thyroid disease was summarized with the help of Director Shim Eun-jin of the Department of Endocrinology at Seonam Hospital in Seoul.
◇Pulse faster and intensely hot 'Expression of thyroid gland function'
Hyperthyroidism is a disease in which thyroid hormones are excessively secreted, and the basic metabolism of our body increases, which can increase blood pressure, speed up the pulse, palpitations, and heat. In addition, hand tremors, weight loss, diarrhea, insomnia, and menstrual irregularities can be seen, most often due to autoimmune diseases, and the typical disease is Graves' disease, which stimulates the thyroid gland and causes hyperthyroidism.
Graves' disease is treated through medication (anti-thyroid drugs), and radioactive iodine or surgical treatment can be considered if drug treatment is not well controlled, recurrence, or drug side effects. For diagnosis, thyroid function can be evaluated by blood tests, autoantibody levels in the blood are measured if abnormalities are seen, and nuclear medicine tests such as thyroid scans can be performed.
◇ Pulse Slows Down and Weights 'Depression of Thyroid Dysfunction'
Hyperthyroidism is a disease that reduces the secretion of thyroid hormones, which can slow the pulse due to low basal metabolism, easily feel tired, show swollen body weight, and lower body temperature, causing severe cold. In addition, the skin may become dry and rough, and the gastrointestinal function may decrease, resulting in bloated stomach, constipation, loss of appetite, and menstrual irregularities.
The disease can be confirmed through blood tests, and if abnormalities are confirmed by thyroid function tests, additional autoantibody tests in the blood are performed, and if it meets the criteria for treatment, thyroid hormone drugs should be taken. If the thyroid gland is surgically removed or thyroid function is destroyed by radiation therapy, etc., you may need to take thyroid hormone drugs permanently.
◇Most of the thyroiditis recover without treatment...You can take hormone medication
In addition, thyroiditis is a disease in which the thyroid gland is inflamed.
First, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most common autoimmune thyroiditis, and if the thyroid gland is damaged by autoantibody formation and hypothyroidism worsens, thyroid hormone drugs should be taken. In the case of acute and subacute thyroiditis, temporary hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may occur, but most of them recover normally without treatment, and in hypothyroidism, they can be stopped while taking hormones in the short term. However, if symptoms recur or hypothyroidism becomes severe, thyroid hormone drugs should be taken continuously.
◇ Thyroid disease, possible abnormalities in fetal nerve development and bone formation
Thyroid function may change due to physiological changes during pregnancy. In addition, thyroid disease can affect both mothers and fetuses, especially if hypothyroidism is not properly treated, mothers can develop anemia and heart failure, and the likelihood of pregnancy complications such as placental abnormalities and low birth weight can increase. Also, fetuses may have abnormalities in neurocognitive development, bone formation, and growth.
If a woman preparing for pregnancy has a history of thyroid disease, is currently being treated for thyroid disease, or has a family history, it is important to check thyroid function in advance through a blood test. In addition, if you show hypothyroidism, it is safe to become pregnant after maintaining stable thyroid function through taking thyroid hormone drugs. In particular, blood tests should be performed frequently in the early stages of pregnancy to control thyroid function well.
Manager Shim Eun-jin said, `The thyroid hormone greatly affects the overall organs and organs of our body. Therefore, if abnormal symptoms related to this are suspected, blood tests should be used to check for abnormalities and appropriate treatment should be provided if the treatment criteria are met"Especially for women who are preparing for pregnancy or pregnant, they need more thorough management."
