Whether there are more patients with hyperthyroidism or more patients with iodine deficiency

Hello, hyperthyroidism refers to hyperthyroidism or increased secretion of thyroid hormone in the blood, iodized salt contains a large amount of iodine, which is the raw material for supplementing thyroid hormones. Patients with hyperthyroidism are related to excessive iodized salt intake, and need to control their diet, and cannot eat iodine-containing salt and food, which is too much iodine, not too little.

Because the whole population eats iodized salt, the iodine deficiency disease is basically under control.

Patients with hyperthyroidism will not go to the restaurant every day, the most important thing is that kelp, seaweed, shrimp skin, absolutely do not eat.

If you suspect that you have this disease, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up, and if you find a problem, you can do it in time**.

Hey, national policies can't keep up. Now the big neck disease is indeed almost gone. The rest are people like us who have hyperthyroidism and can't do without iodized salt every day.

It seems that the iodine content of edible salt has decreased now, and it seems that I forgot where I read the news. But no matter what, I can't keep up with the progress. I can only pay attention to myself and eat less salty.

Seafood, seaweed or something is basically goodbye.

It is precisely because your country has asked you to supplement iodine that you rarely see iodine deficiency, if there is no national iodine supplementation, you see not only hyperthyroidism, but also big neck disease, this is not understood, there were many such diseases in the past, but now because of iodine supplementation, the iodine deficiency in the body has been reduced, and hyperthyroidism is much more obvious! Got it?

1. What is iodine deficiency disease?

Iodine deficiency disorders are a series of damages caused by insufficient iodine intake in the body due to iodine deficiency in the natural environment. Endemic goiter and endemic cretinism are two typical manifestations of iodine deficiency, which also affects fetal brain development, leading to retardation or permanent impairment of the child's mental and physical development. Iodine deficiency can also lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, congenital malformations and increased neonatal mortality, making women and children the most prominent victims of iodine deficiency.

2. What are the main iodine supplementation methods for iodine deficiency diseases?

Since iodine deficiency disorders are caused by environmental iodine deficiency, iodine supplementation is the most effective measure to prevent and treat iodine deficiency diseases.

Methods of iodine supplementation include: salt iodization, oral iodized oil pills (taken under the guidance of medical personnel), eating iodine-rich foods (such as seafood), etc. Among them, the consumption of iodized salt is the best and most effective way to prevent and treat iodine deficiency diseases, which is not only safe, effective, economical and easy to promote, but also meets the requirements of micro, long-term and life-oriented.

3. What are the foods with high natural iodine content?

In general, most land plants have low iodine content, with the exception of spinach and celery which have higher iodine content (around milligrams in kilograms). The iodine content of seafood is several times that of land plants, and there are some. Up to dozens of times, such as kelp, the iodine content of milligrams or so kilograms.

Seafood such as kelp, seaweed, and shrimp skin are the best natural iodine supplementation products, so you should pay attention to eating more of these foods. However, these foods do not completely replace the role of iodized salt.

4. What should residents pay attention to when purchasing, storing and consuming iodized salt?

Iodized salt must have packaging and iodized salt marking. Residents should be aware when buying iodized salt.

The purchased iodized salt should be properly stored:

1) The container for iodized salt should be a brown shading bottle or ceramic jar with a lid.

2) The iodized salt should be placed in a cool and dry place to avoid direct sunlight and moisture absorption, and be stored away from the stove to avoid the influence of high humidity.

3) The storage time of iodized salt should not be too long, and it should be bought as you use it and stored appropriately.

To prevent iodine loss, take care when consuming iodized salt:

1) Do not wash with water.

2) When stir-frying, cooking vegetables and cooking soup dishes, it is not advisable to put salt too early, and it is advisable to put it when the food is almost cooked.

3) Don't put iodized salt in a pan to fry, let alone put it in a pan to fry.

Excessive or too little iodine intake is easy to cause hyperthyroidism, which is because the thyroid gland synthesizes and releases too much thyroid hormone, causing hypermetabolism and sympathetic nerve excitation, causing palpitations, eating, sweating, increased stool, and easy weight loss. Because iodine is an important substance for the synthesis of thyroxine, hyperthyroidism is related to excessive iodine, but if the human body lacks iodine and high iodine, it actually has a certain impact on the thyroid gland, and finally it is easy to develop hyperthyroidism.

Patients with hyperthyroidism only have symptoms such as palpitation, weakness, anxiety, and hand tremor during the attack, and they will be the same as normal people after the attack, and there will be no sequelae.

I am also a patient of hyperthyroidism with iodine, and now I do not have the above symptoms, I used to love sweating, but now I occasionally feel hot and not afraid of cold.

Possibly. I heard that the current iodized salt content is not standard, it may be too much, if you usually eat seafood, try to eat non-iodized salt. If you eat freshwater animals and plants, eat iodized salt, and occasionally eat some kelp silk or something.

However, you can't eat kelp too often, and you can't overdo it. The iodine content is too high. Usually do more exercise, adjust your work and rest, and generally do not change to hyperthyroidism.

However, if you have a history of hyperthyroidism in your family, you should pay more attention.

There is a type of hyperthyroidism called iodine hyperthyroidism. Iodine-based hyperthyroidism is characterized by the occurrence of iodine-deficient areas after iodine supplementation, or after taking iodine-containing drugs (eg, amiodarone), iodine contrast media, or iodine disinfectants. Iodine hyperthyroidism tends to be self-limited, and the disease is mild, and it is more common in the elderly.
