What are the complications of hypothyroidism if left untreated?

The incidence of hypothyroidism is gradually increasing, which brings great harm to the patient's body and mind, and if the disease is not treated in time, or if it is not cured for a long time, it will cause various diseases and bring greater harm to the patient's health, so what are the complications that hypothyroidism may cause? The following is a detailed introduction for you.

1) Angina pectoris.

Elderly patients with severe angina pectoris and uncorrected hypothyroidism is a difficult problem in hypothyroidism heart disease. Because thyroxine can aggravate angina pectoris, and drugs commonly used in angina can cause severe sinus bradycardia.

2) High blood pressure.

Hypothyroidism heart disease begins to use antihypertensive drugs with caution, should follow the doctor's advice, according to statistics, thyroxine alone can restore blood pressure to normal in 1 3 patients. Antihypertensive drugs should be considered only if blood pressure remains high after thyroid function has returned to normal**.

3) Heart failure.

Other preparations may be added to replace thyroxine for hypothyroidism** heart disease. The prolonged half-life of these drugs in the body, coupled with myxedema of myocardial fibers, changes in the response to this preparation, and it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions and use it with caution in moderation.

4) Pericardial effusion.

Because the clinical symptoms of hypothyroid heart disease are not obvious, cardiac tamponade symptoms rarely occur, and most of the hypothyroidism heart disease can be absorbed and subsided after replacing thyroxine with thyroxine**, so puncture and aspiration are generally not necessary. When symptoms are severe, due to active cooperation**.

Message: Through the above description, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the other harms caused by hypothyroidism, so after discovering the disease, we must carry out it in time to avoid causing other diseases after continuous development and causing unnecessary harm to ourselves.

If it is mild, it can be controlled by drugs, and if it is moderate, it will require surgery or radiation** to be controlled, otherwise multiple organs will be affected, arrhythmias, rapid heartbeat, and nerves and endocrine will be affected.

Hypothyroidism** can cause hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, anemia, osteoporosis and other diseases if it is not timely. Blood lipids and thyroid hormones have a synergistic effect, and the two can only play a role when they coexist, so when hypothyroidism is reduced, thyroid hormone decreases, and the utilization of blood lipids in the body decreases and excretion decreases, so it will lead to hyperlipidemia.

It can cause heart disease, hypothyroidism, enlargement of one's own heart, and pericardial effusion, which can cause sleep breathing syndrome.

The complications of hypothyroidism are mainly reflected in: 1. Pericardial effusion: because the clinical symptoms of hypothyroidism heart disease are not obvious, cardiac tamponade symptoms rarely occur, and most of them can be absorbed and subsided after replacing ** hypothyroidism with thyroxine heart disease, so puncture and aspiration are generally not necessary.

Neck thickening, edema, frigidity, fatigue, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Hello, there may be neck thickening, edema, frigidity, fatigue, it is best to go to the endocrinology department of the hospital for replacement**, there may be complication of pericardial effusion.

Hypothyroidism is an endocrine disorder. Common complications include hypothyroidal myopathy, which can lead to rhabdomyolysis.

Hypothyroidism can be complicated with coronary heart disease. Hyperlipidemia, especially hypercholesterolemia. Paralytic intestinal obstruction.

Iron deficiency anemia or pernicious anemia. Adrenal insufficiency, diabetes, etc.

Hypothyroidism is still very harmful to the human body, and it must be timely** without delay.

Hello, hypothyroidism can lead to many complications when severe or not well controlled, such as: it can cause hypothyroid heart disease, causing pericardial effusion, cardiac enlargement, and decreased heart output. In addition, it can also cause obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, mainly due to myxedema obstruction of the upper airway, resulting in airway narrowing and abnormal sleep, and can also cause serosal effusion.

In addition, due to hypothyroidism, the levels of T3 and T4 in the peripheral blood are significantly reduced. The excitatory gland is able to synthesize cells that secrete TSH, causing compensatory hypertrophy of the pituitary gland and causing complications of pituitary enlargement. In addition, the most important and serious complication of hypothyroidism is hypothyroid crisis, also known as myxedema coma, which is a serious and rare complication of hypothyroidism.

For hypothyroidism, only taking levothyroxine sodium tablets (Jiaheng, Youjiale, Retis) is the only way. No matter what the cause of hypothyroidism, you only need to supplement an appropriate amount of thyroid hormone (thyroid tablets, Jiaheng, Youjiale, etc.), so that the thyroid hormone level and TSH in the blood are within the normal range to avoid the adverse effects of hypothyroidism on the body, and then take it for a long time to replace **, almost no ***, just like diabetics use insulin for a long time instead of **. The medium of levothyroxine sodium tablets is the same as the composition of the substances secreted by our own thyroid gland.

Therefore, it can be taken for a long time with peace of mind. This hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disease. Hypothyroidism is not a serious disease, and the recovery is faster when the mind is open.

Neurological effects of hypothyroidism: mental retardation, unresponsiveness, memory loss, attention, comprehension and calculation, and hearing impairment are common. Photosensitivity is insensitive, and paresthesias, numbness, tingling, or burning may occur. There are water lilies or poor sleep, dizziness, movement disorders.

The main harms of hypothyroidism are as follows:

1. Endocrine system: male impotence, female menorrhagia, amenorrhea can also be amenorrhea in patients with long-term illness, low adrenal cortex function, and decreased blood and urine cortisol.

2. Reproductive system: women may have irregular menstruation, excessive menstrual bleeding or amenorrhea, and general infertility. It will have an impact on the fertility of both male and female patients.

3. Cardiovascular system: slow heartbeat, low heart sounds, generalized enlargement of the heart, often accompanied by pericardial effusion, swelling of myocardial fibers after disease, mucinous glycoprotein (positive PAS staining) deposition and interstitial fibrosis are called hypothyroid myocardial lesions.

4. Digestive system: patients have loss of appetite, constipation, abdominal distention, and even paralytic intestinal obstruction, and about half of the patients have complete gastric acid deficiency.

The right way to choose for hypothyroidism is that Chinese medicine has the best effect.

Primary hypothyroidism can prevent lifelong medication.

How to use Chinese medicine for hypothyroidism**.

Oral Alpha and precautions.

Hypothyroidism or thyroid resection after thyroid surgery will affect thyroid function and need to be replaced with thyroxine**.

1. Safety: Pregnant women can eat it.

2. Convenience: once a day, oral administration half an hour before breakfast or before bedtime.

3. Not expensive: about 1 yuan per day. Note:

Since thyroxine will accelerate the loss of calcium, it is recommended to take oral eucarol and supplement calcium appropriately, preferably with a combination of calcium and vitamin D. Especially after menopause, women should pay more attention to calcium supplementation. After differentiated thyroid cancer, calcium supplementation should be about 1000 mg and vitamin D3, such as calcil D600, 1 capsule, 2 times a day) to prevent osteoporosis.

There are currently two dosage forms: 50 micrograms and 100 micrograms, so you should pay attention to the dosage form when buying medicine! Be sure to pay attention to the dosage when taking the medicine!

When to eat Yonail.

Hello! It is generally recommended to take Iodine-131** for 2 4 weeks after surgery, and then stop Iodine-131** for 2 4 weeks (STSH>30) after the surgical wound is completely healed (because after the surgery completely resects both glands, thyroid hormones will be significantly reduced in the short term, affecting wound healing). If there is inflammation in other parts of the body, anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken after surgery.
