Who is more prone to hyperthyroidism? Hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune reaction, which will lead to an increase in thyroid hormone secretion.
There are many reasons for hyperthyroidism. Studies have shown that the vast majority of hyperthyroidism is related to factors such as lack of sleep, mental stress and fever, and young people perfectly match these factors, so hyperthyroidism is more common among teenagers.
It should be noted that hyperthyroidism, as an autoimmune disease, has certain genetic factors. If there are hyperthyroidism patients in the family, the possibility of hyperthyroidism in future generations will also increase.
So what are the hazards of hyperthyroidism? 1, Appearance changes: After suffering from hyperthyroidism, patients will have obvious symptoms of bulging eyes, thick neck and extremely thin body, which will directly affect the patient's appearance. Patients will also feel inferior because of these symptoms and gradually become unwilling to contact with people.
2. Affect patients' socialization: hyperthyroidism patients are easily excited and lose their temper, which leads to the deterioration of social relations and the deterioration of relations with family members and relatives; Patients also have symptoms such as insomnia and dreaminess, which seriously affect work efficiency;
3, complicated with hyperthyroidism crisis: when patients are strongly stimulated or overworked, trauma, etc., thyroid crisis will occur. This disease is very serious, with a high mortality rate, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. What harm does hyperthyroidism have to the body?
4. Hyperthyroidism can also cause liver disease: the patient's oxygen consumption increases, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the liver, and hyperthyroidism catabolism increases, leading to an increase in liver glycogen consumption, which in turn leads to liver disease.
5, damage to heart health: because hyperthyroidism will cause leukopenia, platelets will also decrease, and then blood deficiency will occur. The changes of these numbers have a great influence on the health of the heart, and symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and high blood pressure may appear, especially the sudden increase of blood pressure, which will lead to myocardial infarction.
6, induce diabetes: hormones secreted by the thyroid gland will affect the secretion of insulin, so it will be prone to the phenomenon of elevated blood sugar, which will lead to diabetes.
Hyperthyroidism, also known as hyperthyroidism, is one of the common thyroid diseases. The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ. Once eliminated, it will affect various hormones in the body, thus affecting the normal operation and health of multiple systems.
Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism: the onset of hyperthyroidism is not sudden, generally slow, and it may be acute under special circumstances. The common symptoms of hyperthyroidism are irritability, emotional excitement, insomnia, anxiety, sweating, fear of heat, palpitation, accelerated heart rhythm, overeating and hunger, weight loss, and may also be accompanied by goiter, exophthalmos, hand shaking and so on. Hyperthyroidism is common in women, mostly women aged 20 ~ 40.
The consequences of hyperthyroidism: hyperthyroidism is a curable disease, and early detection and treatment can effectively control the development of the disease. The consequences of hyperthyroidism may be accompanied by the above common symptoms. If the disease is not treated in time, it may induce hyperthyroidism heart disease, hyperthyroidism crisis (arrhythmia, convulsion and even disturbance of consciousness in severe cases) and thyroid eye disease, which will seriously endanger health. Timely attention and active cooperation with doctors are the key to the recovery of hyperthyroidism and avoiding serious consequences.
Dietary suggestions for patients with hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism is a typical hypermetabolic syndrome, and the dietary principle is to take high calorie, high protein and high vitamin intake, so as to ensure nutrient consumption during hypermetabolism and avoid malnutrition and other complications. Dietary suggestions are as follows:
1, the overall dietary intake increases, and it is generally recommended to increase it by about 50.70%, and the calories are guaranteed to be 3000 3500 calories per day. However, you don't have to eat too much at a time, you can increase the number of meals, and 5 6 meals a day is appropriate.
2, to ensure adequate protein, hyperthyroidism will increase the consumption of protein, the body is prone to negative nitrogen balance, so we must pay attention to the supply of protein. The intake of protein is: 1.5g/kg body weight, which means that a hyperthyroidism patient 130 kg will consume 97.5g of protein every day, mainly from fish, milk, eggs and beans.
3, hyperthyroidism patients are prone to lack of multivitamins, so there must be vegetables for every meal. At the same time, adding meals can increase the intake of fruits needed by the body, and you can choose to supplement vitamins to support it when necessary.
4. avoid foods with high iodine content, which is easy to aggravate the condition. Common foods such as laver, kelp and Nostoc flagelliforme also contain iodine, so be sure to consult a doctor before taking the medicine.
5. Some foods that are irritating or easy to accelerate metabolism should also be avoided as much as possible, such as peppers, coffee, strong tea and alcoholic drinks.
Thank you for reading. I hope it helps you.
1. What is hyperthyroidism?
Hyperthyroidism is that the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland controls the energy use of the whole body and is located in front of the trachea. Too much thyroid hormone will accelerate the body function, resulting in emaciation, fatigue, trembling, insomnia and other phenomena. Hyperthyroidism is very common, especially in women.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism, * * * four aspects.
gastrointestinal tract
Increased appetite, weight loss and emaciation
L frequent defecation and sparse defecation
heart
L arrhythmia
L the heartbeat is accelerated, more than 0/00 times per minute/kloc.
Hair, skin
L skin thinning
Hair thinning and alopecia
whole body
L muscle weakness
L rapid growth of nails
Shake hands and sweat.
L exophthalmos
L insomnia, anxiety, irritability
What factors will aggravate hyperthyroidism?
Excessive iodine and some drugs can aggravate hyperthyroidism.
Therefore, in the diet, we should pay attention to eating less marine plants such as kelp and laver. Their iodine content is about 654.38+0 million times that of daily food, while the iodine content of shrimp and shellfish in the ocean is more than 300 times that of daily food.
Low iodine diet: eat less or no kelp, seaweed, seafood, ham, bacon, etc. Iodized salt intake should not exceed 6 grams per day.
You can pay attention to the contents and columns published regularly by "Ask the doctor", including those related to hyperthyroidism.
What are the common symptoms of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and how to distinguish them? Then you'll know.
Hyperthyroidism, which is common in daily life, is a disease with a very high incidence in the population. I believe that everyone will not feel strange. This is a particularly common thyroid disease. Once hyperthyroidism occurs, it will do great harm to patients.
1, eye: If this disease is not treated in time, hyperthyroidism will appear. After the attack, the patient's eyelids are not closed well, diplopia appears, and the eyeball protrudes outward, which seriously affects the patient's appearance and image, and also has a certain impact on vision, even blindness.
2, metabolic abnormalities: the patient's metabolism will also appear some abnormalities, serious metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, abnormal liver function and so on. In clinical examination, it can be found that the patient's blood sugar has increased, and there will be some abnormalities in liver function. This is also one of the obvious hazards.
3, digestive system: the disease will also cause some damage to the patient's digestive system, patients will have diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and directly affect the diet, the patient's diet will increase significantly, but the weight will drop rapidly.
4. Fertility: This disease will directly affect the fertility of patients. If pregnant women suffer from this disease, they are prone to miscarriage or even premature birth. If you are not pregnant, women will also have irregular menstruation or even amenorrhea, leading to infertility.
The full name of hyperthyroidism is hyperthyroidism, which is a clinical symptom caused by excessive secretion of thyroid hormone. According to the lesion site, it can be divided into primary hyperthyroidism and secondary hyperthyroidism. According to the degree of hyperthyroidism, patients are divided into clinical type and subclinical type.
What are the hazards of hyperthyroidism? 1. Overappetite, accelerated intestinal peristalsis, increased stool frequency, or diarrhea; 2. Continuous rapid heartbeat, usually more than 65438 000 beats/minute, patients can consciously palpitation; 3. Some patients may have arrhythmia such as atrial premature beats and atrial fibrillation, and patients will feel flustered and unwell. 4. Patients may have anxiety, insomnia, irritability and inattention; 5. When hand shaking is serious, it will affect normal work and life; 6. Hyperhidrosis and heat intolerance; 7. Female patients may have menstrual cycle changes, which are generally manifested as prolonged menstrual cycle, less menstrual flow and even amenorrhea; 8. Most patients can have different degrees of goiter, and in severe cases, they can see "thick neck"; 9. Some patients may have hair loss, sparseness and fracture. In addition to the above common hazards, there are several atypical hazards, such as exophthalmos, periodic paralysis, muscle weakness, dizziness and headache.
Hyperthyroidism must be treated in time. At present, there are three treatment methods: drug therapy, iodine 13 1 therapy and surgical treatment. These three treatments have their own advantages and disadvantages, and patients can choose according to their own conditions. Hyperthyroidism patients usually need to pay attention to: pay attention to rest, exercise regularly, quit smoking and limit alcohol, supplement enough calories and nutrition, and control the iodine content in the diet. Try to avoid using iodine-containing drugs (such as amiodarone) and iodine-containing contrast agents to reduce the intake of high-iodine foods such as kelp.
The above is my answer to the harm of hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disease. Female, the incidence of mental trauma or infection is higher. Hyperthyroidism can be induced or aggravated in early pregnancy. Excessive iodine intake, excessive consumption of seafood such as kelp and drug treatment (amiodarone) can all induce hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism is mainly manifested as metabolic syndrome such as overeating, emaciation, fear of heat, hyperhidrosis, palpitation and agitation. Patients may have different degrees of goiter, exophthalmos and hand tremor.
If hyperthyroidism is not treated, what consequences will it lead to? Patients who are hyperactive, sweaty, flustered and excited will affect their normal life and work and cannot do things with peace of mind. If the child has hyperthyroidism, he can't sit quietly in the seat and listen to the class. They are always moving around. Hyperthyroidism can also affect children's intellectual development and physical development. Because children are hyperactive, they are easily misdiagnosed as ADHD. If goiter compresses the esophagus and trachea, it will also affect eating and breathing, and surgery is needed.
If the condition of hyperthyroidism patients is not controlled, the symptoms of hyperthyroidism may increase sharply under the inducement of mental stimulation, infection and so on, which is called hyperthyroidism crisis and is a complication of hyperthyroidism. Patients with hyperthyroidism crisis will have fever above 39 degrees, increased heart rate, restlessness, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, sweating, and even fall into a semi-coma or coma. If not rescued in time, it will be life-threatening.
Therefore, patients with hyperthyroidism should be treated with antithyroid drugs in time after diagnosis. Methimazole and propylthiouracil are commonly used. Check the white blood cell count and thyroid function regularly, so that doctors can adjust the dose in time to avoid side effects and hypothyroidism.
To sum up, if hyperthyroidism cannot be effectively controlled, it will affect the quality of work and life. Hyperthyroidism in children can also affect intellectual development and physical development. If there is a hyperthyroidism crisis, life will be in danger if the rescue is not timely. Therefore, antithyroid drug therapy should be started as soon as possible after the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism can cause systemic metabolism enhancement, leading to abnormal multi-system function, which is life-threatening in severe cases.
1. The nervous system can cause hyperactivity, excitement, irritability and insomnia, and in severe cases, unconsciousness and coma may occur.
2. The circulatory system will cause arrhythmia, tachycardia and other manifestations, and in severe cases, heart failure will occur, even life-threatening.
3. The respiratory rate of the respiratory system is accelerated.
4. The gastrointestinal peristalsis of the digestive system is accelerated, and symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and increased stool frequency may occur.
5. Decreased menstrual flow in female reproductive system.
6. Other manifestations of the whole body are due to increased metabolism, resulting in excessive consumption of nutrition and energy. Patients often have symptoms such as fear of heat, sweating, fatigue, emaciation, and hyperappetite. Some types of hyperthyroidism may have eye abnormalities, including exophthalmos, decreased vision and strabismus.
You should go to the hospital immediately after finding symptoms similar to hyperthyroidism, which can reduce or avoid the risk of harm.
Hyperthyroidism patients will produce too much thyroid hormone, which can affect most systems and organs of the whole body, including the following contents:
1, cardiovascular system, causing arrhythmia, heart enlargement or heart failure.
2, digestive system, leading to diarrhea or liver damage.
3, the blood system, causing anemia or granulocyte and thrombocytopenia.
4, reproductive system, women show menstrual cramps or amenorrhea, men show impotence.
5. The harm of hyperthyroidism is the most serious manifestation of hyperthyroidism. The patient developed high fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, tachycardia and mental disorder.
6. Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage, premature delivery and intrauterine growth retardation.
What harm can you have if you get hyperthyroidism without treatment?
Some patients with hyperthyroidism ask about hyperthyroidism. What will happen if we don't treat it? What are the serious adverse reactions?
Many patients who have just got hyperthyroidism have mild symptoms and are afraid that taking medicine will have side effects. I don't know if they can recover hyperthyroidism through exercise, diet or immune regulation without taking medicine or treatment. If they don't treat hyperthyroidism, what impact will it have on their health?
It is unrealistic for hyperthyroidism to recover without exercise and diet treatment. Hyperthyroidism must be treated, otherwise it will bring bad consequences to the body.
If you are in hyperthyroidism for a long time, it will lead to problems in many systems of the whole body. Cardiovascular changes are common, mainly manifested as arrhythmia, especially in elderly patients. If not treated in time, it will cause hyperthyroid heart disease, and the most important manifestation is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation can also lead to the formation and shedding of thrombus, which will cause infarction after falling into blood vessels. If there is a cerebral infarction, the consequences will be very serious. Hyperthyroid heart disease caused by hyperthyroidism may lead to heart failure, including edema of lower limbs, and even severe patients may lead to this death, which is in the heart.
Furthermore, if hyperthyroidism is not well treated, it will cause the decline of female fertility, make it difficult to get pregnant, and even cause miscarriage or stillbirth after pregnancy. For strong young men, quadriplegia may occur due to drinking or fatigue, which is also called hypokalemia or hypokalemic paralysis or periodic paralysis, which is also a serious consequence. For minors, the influence of hyperthyroidism is also very great, which will affect the growth and development of children and lead to short stature. In addition, children will also have inattention and decline in academic performance. If it is a little girl, it will lead to no menstruation or delayed menstruation.
In addition, it will also cause changes in the digestive system, such as damage to liver function; The motor system may also be affected.
Therefore, if you have hyperthyroidism, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment, so that hyperthyroidism can recover as soon as possible, and the sooner you recover, the less impact it will have on your body.
Life is in danger, so we should treat it as soon as possible.
