Director Zhang Xianhui: Thyroid health is a common health problem at present. You know, the thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in our body. Once the thyroid gland is abnormal, the endocrine and hormone levels of the body will definitely be unbalanced, which will bring various adverse effects to the body.
Many friends with hypothyroidism did not get timely treatment when they got sick. The temporary relaxation of vigilance gave us a chance of hypothyroidism for a period of time, which caused serious harm to our health. What are the dangers of hypothyroidism here today?

Under the action of various hormones in the body, our endocrine system also needs thyroid hormone for hair growth and nutrition supply. If you suffer from hypothyroidism, it will lead to insufficient hair supply, dry and dull hair, and even hair loss. Some patients with hypothyroidism will also have eyebrows falling off.
2. Leg swelling
Hypothyroidism will lead to the obstruction of internal operation of the body, which will lead to leg swelling. Joint and muscle pain is a very typical symptom, which will seriously affect normal life and work.

Thyroid hormone may also affect mood and even lead to depression. But also often feel fatigue, fatigue and other symptoms. However, due to the lack of thyroid knowledge, many people will not think that the culprit may be hypothyroidism when they are depressed.
4. Dry skin
Skin function is controlled by many hormones including thyroid hormone. The skin glands that produce oil are affected by thyroid gland; Skin thickness also depends on thyroid function. Hypothyroidism can cause the skin to feel cold and dry, even yellow or pale. Extremely dry skin can even lead to not sweating.
5. Constipation
Hypothyroidism will weaken the digestive tract function and slow down the intestinal peristalsis, resulting in more and more garbage and toxins left in the intestine, resulting in dry stool, poor defecation and constipation.
6. menstrual disorders
Hypothyroidism is closely related to puberty retardation, abnormal menstruation and infertility, which can lead to abnormal changes in menstrual cycle and menstrual flow, such as menstrual pause or too frequent menstruation, too little or too much menstrual blood, etc. If hypothyroidism is treated in time, menstrual problems will disappear. Sometimes hypothyroidism can lead to pregnancy difficulties and increase the risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy.
