Thyroid
9 CommentsI am trying to write a medical post with no medical background whatsoever. Often a lot of people confuse thyroid with tonsils. Both are totally different and function differently. Thyroid disorder will make hormones go amok.
Basically Thyroid is a gland takes iodine in the body and manufacture hormones called thyroxine (T4) and thriiodothyronine (T3). All the cells in the body depends on the hormones to regulate metabolism.
There is 2 types of Thyroid disorder, Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism. Hyper is overproducing of T4 & T3. Hypo is of coz lacking of T4 & T3.
Symptoms of Hyper could be:
Goitre
Weight Loss
Heat Intolerance
Breathlessness
Hands Tremor
Muscles Weakness
Irregular Period
Vision Problem
Hair Loss
Fast Heart Rate
Increase in Bowel Movement
Etc..Symptoms of Hypo:
Weight Gain
Sensitivity to the cold
Fatigue
Slower pulse rate
Heavy Period
Dry skin/hair
Constipation
Muscle Cramp
Depression
Memory Loss
Etc..There are a few ways to treat this disorder. If you go untreated, it will become severe. Example too much weight lost, suffer insomnia, heart complication and sometimes the thyroid will become cancerous. Treatments such as Anti Thyroid Hormones Drug, Radioactive Iodine, Surgical Removal or taking thyroxine to restore level, if you are under.
By the way, a clear symptoms that can show you that you have thyroid problem is the neck area when the thyroid gland is, is swollen. If you are in doubt, please consult your doctor, he will run a blood test to see your T3 & T4 level.
After much said, I am hyper with T3 & T4 normal but I have goitre. Probably the hormones are trapped in the gland and no where to go. I have seek many specialist advise, seems that no medicine for me. 🙁 The only means is to go for a surgery to remove it. Oh well, this is my next mission. The good side of it all, I get 15 days of MC. :dance:
