How does hypothyroidism occur and what is hypothyroidism?

Hello: Hypothyroidism is still relatively common in people's lives, and many people suffer from hypothyroidism. In fact, hypothyroidism is also hypothyroidism, which leads to a decrease in the body's metabolism.

Hypothyroidism in children is called hypothyroidism in young children, and hypothyroidism in adults is called adult hypothyroidism, and the symptoms of onset are different at different ages. Since hypothyroidism refers to hypothyroidism in the body, the cause of hypothyroidism is also the cause of hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is also known as hypothyroidism, and modern medical scientists generally believe that hypothyroidism is caused by abnormal function of the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, and thyroid gland. Some of the causes of hypothyroidism are congenital, and some people are born with hypothyroidism, or they develop hypothyroidism during development.

What causes hypothyroidism?

1. Iodine deficiency. Endemic goiter is caused by hypothyroidism caused by iodine deficiency in people's diet, so people try to eat iodized salt in their diet.

2. Decreased immunity. Weakened immunity is actually the main culprit of hypothyroidism, and now many people have weakened immunity, especially some elderly and young children. There are many harms associated with weakened immunity, and hypothyroidism is one of them.

3. Drugs or radioactive substances. When taking some drugs for a certain disease, it can also lead to hypothyroidism, and when your head and neck are exposed to excessive radioactive materials, it is also very likely to cause you to suffer from hypothyroidism.

If you want to ** your own hypothyroidism, you must first pay more attention to some of your behaviors, and try to make your hypothyroidism get better faster through some of your own lifestyle and diet. For example, pay more attention to eating iodine-containing salt in the diet mentioned above, and you can also eat more domestic foods, such as seaweed and kelp.

In addition, you also need to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet, fruits and vegetables contain very high vitamin content, eat more of this kind of food, you can also supplement the lack of vitamins in your body to make your body healthier. Also eat less foods with high fat content and high cholesterol content, such foods are not only easy to gain weight, but also contraindicated for high blood pressure and high blood sugar.

Innate**. 1) Caused by underdevelopment or underdevelopment of the thyroid gland, most of which occur in newborns or adolescents.

2) Due to congenital defects, some enzymes for the synthesis of thyroid hormones are deficient, which makes the synthesis of thyroid hormones disordered.

3) Many tissues in the body have thyroid hormone receptors, and thyroid hormone can only play a role with this receptor, when congenital causes cause the defect of thyroid hormone receptor in the tissue, although the amount of thyroid hormone is quite large, it will also be due to the defect of the receptor so that the thyroid hormone can not play a role, resulting in hypothyroidism.

Day after tomorrow**. 1) Endemic long-term iodine deficiency makes the raw materials for the synthesis of thyroid hormone insufficient, resulting in a decrease in the production of thyroid hormone.

2) Iatrogenic, that is, excessive removal of thyroid volume during hyperthyroidism, and excessive dose of antithyroid drugs, etc., resulting in a decrease in thyroid hormones.

3) Various thyroiditis causes the destruction of thyroid tissue, many of which are caused by chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease), and about 10% of patients are caused by subacute thyroiditis.

4) In secondary anterior hypopituitarial hypofunction and hypothalamic lesions, hypothyroid-stimulating hormone deficiency can also lead to hypothyroidism.

Hello, hypothyroidism is a relatively common thyroid disease in recent years. Hypothyroidism is a symptom of reduced thyroid hormone secretion in the human body, which can cause a series of abnormal symptoms in the human body, but as long as it is timely, it is not life-threatening, mainly symptomatic, and it is recommended to go to the hospital actively**.

It's better to go to a regular place to do it, after all, health comes first.

Hypothyroidism, or hypothyroidism for short, is a systemic hypometabolic syndrome caused by insufficient production of thyroid hormones or weakened action of thyroid hormones due to various reasons. Hypothyroidism is due to an autoimmune disease.

Hypobolic diseases caused by low production of hormones by the thyroid gland due to various reasons such as drugs and surgery, or due to impaired thyroid hormone utilization.

Hypothyroidism is often insidious and has a long course of disease, and many patients lack specific symptoms for a long time. As the disease progresses, it may progressively worsen, and systemic symptoms such as chills and fatigue may appear. Pericardial effusion can occur when the heart is involved.

and heart failure.

Myxedema coma may occur in severe cases.

Hypothyroidism progresses slowly, and in the early stages, there may be only laboratory tests for thyroid dysfunction without symptoms, or symptoms such as chills, fatigue, slowed heart rate, and loss of appetite.

The main symptoms are decreased metabolic rate and sympathetic excitability, and most patients with mild symptoms have no specific symptoms.

Depending on the severity of the condition, symptoms can vary in severity:

chills, fatigue;

sluggish expression, unresponsiveness, depressed mood, memory loss;

hoarseness, hearing impairment, thick lips and large tongue;

Less sweating, dryness, roughness, peeling, yellowing of the soles of the hands and feet, low temperature, thinning hair;

joint pain, swelling of the hands and feet, facial and/or eyelid edema;

Slow heartbeat, constipation.

Female menstrual disorders or heavy menstrual bleeding, infertility, weight gain, etc.;

Pericardial effusion and heart failure may occur if the heart is involved.

Hypothyroidism is a group of systemic endocrine disorders caused by insufficient synthesis, secretion, or biological effects of thyroid hormones due to multiple causes. Its pathological characteristics are the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in tissues and **, and in severe cases, myxedema is manifested. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hypothyroidism is a disorder of diet, abnormal hunger and satiety, or overeating raw and cold, cold accumulation of the stomach, damage to the spleen and yang, insufficient congenital endowment, or improper maintenance, insufficient essence and qi in the water valley, and loss of spleen and kidney.

Long-term illness or new illness, improper medication, too much bitter cold, vomiting and diarrhea damage the spleen and stomach, and deplete yang qi. The main pathogenesis of this disease is the deficiency of yang qi in the spleen and kidney, and the attenuation of visceral function, resulting in fatigue and edema.

Hypothyroidism is not controlled in time and may cause an increase in blood pressure and cholesterol, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, ankle hydrops, etc. For women, it can affect ovulation and cause infertility.

Hello, the sensitivity of thyroid hormones is reduced, which in turn causes a series of manifestations of metabolic hypometabolism, such as cold and decreased sweating, dryness, slow expression, slow heart rate, loss of appetite, dry stools, fatigue and weakness. There is a series of manifestations called hypothyroidism. The onset of hypothyroidism occurs during the fetal period or shortly after birth and is called cretinism; Occurs in childhood and is called juvenile hypothyroidism; Appearance in adulthood is called adult hypothyroidism.

In severe cases, due to the characteristic edema (increased subcutaneous viscous fluid, referring to the edema ** not depressed), it is called myxedema.

Patients with hypothyroidism will present a group of low metabolic rate at the root of the root, which is reflected in fatigue, obtuseness, slowness, decreased visual ability, mental retardation, napping, lack of concentration, fear of cold and sweating, sparse and dry hair, etc. If you don't have to worry about hypothyroidism, choose a regular hospital.

Do you know that **can**? I really don't know about this.

Hello, the onset of hypothyroidism is due to certain congenital factors, mainly the patient's thyroid congenital dysplasia, the synthesis of the thyroid gland is impaired, and the patient's thyroid hormone receptor, when the hormone is reduced, hypothyroidism will occur. There are also certain factors in the day after tomorrow, mainly the patient's long-term iodine deficiency, which makes the patient's thyroid hormone synthesis raw material insufficient. Patients with overwork and kidney damage are prone to hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism is more afraid of cold, it is very important for our patients to take care of their body at ordinary times, we should not eat too cold food in our diet, we must not eat spicy and cold food, we must pay attention to the intake of sufficient high-calorie and high-protein and vitamin foods in our daily diet, which is also helpful to our patients' bodies. We also need to be careful not to overeat.

Dr. Ma from the Thyroid Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Chongqing National Defense Hospital introduced suggestions:

Hypothyroidism**:

1) Thyroid dysplasia:

It is common in thyroid deficiency or hypoplasia of the thyroid gland, ectopic thyroid, etc. There are many family tendencies.

2) Thyroid lesions:

Due to thyroid lesions, the secretion of thyroid hormones is insufficient, mainly including:

Thyroiditis. With chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis as the main cause, the production of thyroid antibodies, causing the destruction of thyroid follicles, and finally the atrophy of the organization, is called idiopathic hypothyroidism.

Endemic goiter. Thyroid hormone synthesis disorder due to iodine deficiency can eventually lead to hypothyroidism.

Sarcoidosis. About 10% of the thyroid gland is involved, and it can also cause insufficient synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, resulting in hypothyroidism.

Spontaneous hypothyroidism in hyperthyroidism. May be due to concomitant autoimmune thyroiditis.

3) Hypothalamic lesions.

Hypothalamic dysfunction is caused by some cause, which leads to a decrease in thyroid-releasing hormone, and finally a decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid hormone.

4) Anterior pituitary hypofunction.

Due to some reasons such as postpartum pituitary necrosis and atrophy, tumor compression, surgical or radiation injury, various infections and intracranial vascular lesions, etc., the anterior pituitary hypofunction is caused, resulting in a decrease in thyroid-stimulating hormone and thyroid hormone secretion. It is clinically common in Sheehan's disease and Simon's disease.

5) Others:

If the thyroid gland is removed too much, the thyroid gland shrinks after radioactive iodine**, and the excessive amount of antithyroid drugs such as thiourea** inhibits peroxidase, hindering thyroid hormone synthesis.

Appropriate foods for hypothyroidism:

Because the repair of the body of hypothyroidists requires the participation and action of proteins. Therefore, patients with hypothyroidism should pay attention to the use of high-protein foods.

Because the amount of iodine in the body is insufficient, it will make it difficult to synthesize thyroid-stimulating hormone, so it will lead to its deficiency, so it will cause disease. People with hypothyroidism may be able to consume some seafood, such as kelp, which is rich in iodine. Especially for hypothyroidism caused by iodine deficiency, it is necessary to choose an appropriate amount of kelp, seaweed, iodized salt, and iodine soy sauce.

Because the plasma circulation in the patient's body is not smooth, cholesterol increases, which is extremely harmful to the body's recovery. Therefore, patients with hypothyroidism should pay attention to controlling fat intake and reducing fat intake to reduce plasma cholesterol concentration.

Patients with hypothyroidism can eat some fresh fruits and vegetables to achieve the purpose of fat reduction, such as grapes, apples, etc.

Hypothyroidism**.

1. Primary hypothyroidism.

Caused by thyroid disease itself, serum TSH is elevated in patients. Mainly seen in:

congenital thyroid absence;

thyroid atrophy;

diffuse lymphocytic thyroiditis;

subacute thyroiditis;

After thyroid destruction** (radioactive iodine, surgery), radioactive iodine-131 nuclide** hyperthyroidism is the only *** is hypothyroidism and hypothyroidism (mainly referring to permanent hypothyroidism and hypothyroidism).

disorders of thyroid hormone synthesis (congenital enzyme defects, iodine deficiency or iodine excess);

drug suppression; Invasive lesions (lymphoid carcinoma, amyloidosis, etc.).

2. Secondary hypothyroidism Patients with low serum TSH. Mainly seen in pituitary disease, pituitary tumor, isolated TSH deficiency; Causes such as hypothalamic syndrome, hypothalamic tumor, isolated TRH deficiency, inflammation, or postpartum pituitary avascular necrosis.

3. Peripheral hypothyroidism.

Rare, it is a family hereditary disease, and the function of peripheral target tissues to take up hormones is good, but the receptors in the nucleus are dysfunctional or lacking, so the physiological effect on thyroid hormones is weakened.

4. Thyroid-stimulating hormone or thyroid hormone insensitivity syndrome.

It is a type of hypothyroidism caused by the thyroid gland being resistant to TSH.
