    The thyroid gland is located in the anterior lower part of the tracheal larynx and is commonly known as "chestnut meat". Thyroid poisoning is caused by ingesting the thyroid gland of pigs, cattle and sheep. The animal thyroid gland is rich in thyroxine, and ingesting excessive thyroxine can interfere with the normal endocrine activities of the human body, causing a series of neurological symptoms.

    A large amount of thyroxine enters the human body to improve the oxidation rate of tissue cells, speed up the basal metabolism, produce a large amount of heat, make the physiological functions of various systems dysfunctional, and a variety of poisoning symptoms appear, such as headache, aching limbs, tremors, blurred vision and palpitations and insomnia, as well as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, sweating, etc., individual poisoned patients will appear bloody papules and blisters all over the body or locally, and in severe cases, high fever, irritability, hair loss and other symptoms. Because thyroxine is resistant to high temperatures, it can not be destroyed by general heating, and can only be destroyed when heated to 600, therefore, to prevent thyroid poisoning, the main measure is to completely remove the thyroid gland when slaughtering pigs, cattle, sheep and other livestock.

    As the largest endocrine organ in the human body, the thyroid gland has different manifestations, and the more common diseases of the thyroid gland are: hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, thyroid nodules, simple goiter, etc.

    1. Hyperthyroidism: symptoms caused by excessive thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland of the body, including heat intolerance, palpitation, sweating, insomnia, easy hunger, weight loss, increased frequency of stool, hand tremors, muscle tremors of the whole body and symptoms of increased excitability of the body, as well as the manifestations of proptosis and neck swelling;

    2. Hypothyroidism: It is mainly manifested by a decrease in thyroid hormones, and some symptoms appear, including cold intolerance, sleepiness, fatigue, drowsiness, lazy speech, lack of movement, memory loss, decreased reflexes, swelling of limbs, salallow face, hair loss, etc., as well as manifestations of slowed metabolism;

    3. Thyroiditis: It can be accompanied by acute fever, neck pain, pain, radiation to the back of the ear or the back of the head, and pain when touching or swallowing. Chronic thyroiditis is generally asymptomatic, and most patients are found to have neck discomfort during physical examination.

    Usually thyroiditis is accompanied by hyperplasia, with symptoms of hyperthyroidism appearing at a young age and symptoms of hypothyroidism appearing in old age;

    6. Thyroid tumor: At this time, the patient's neck can gradually become larger, there is no lymph node metastasis, there are generally no obvious systemic symptoms, when there is lymph node metastasis, the enlarged lymph nodes can be touched, or it may be due to the tumor compressing the trachea, resulting in hoarseness, dyspnea and other symptoms.

    Goiter is an endemic disease, mainly due to iodine deficiency, causing thyroid hyperplasia and degeneration. Children in severe areas present with endemic cretinism. There is also a hyperiodine endemic goiter.

    The thyroid gland is usually diffusely symmetrically enlarged, and may also be nodular in advanced stages. Symptoms of compression can be seen clinically, with more tracheal compression, a feeling of tightness in the patient's larynx, chronic cough, shortness of breath after labor, and even stridor. esophageal compression, which can lead to dysphagia; Recurrent laryngeal nerve compression can cause hoarseness; A retrosternal osseous adenoma that compresses the superior vena cava, causing superior vena cava syndrome.

    This disease is caused by iodine deficiency or relatively insufficient thyroid hormone secretion to cause compensatory thyroid hypertrophy, except for goiter, there are generally no other systemic symptoms, more common in women aged 20-40. The onset of the disease is slow, the thyroid gland is soft and smooth in the early stage, and hard in the late stage, often accompanied by nodules of different sizes, which can compress the trachea and esophagus.

    The main function of the thyroid gland in the human body is to synthesize thyroid hormones, which are used to regulate human metabolism, and the average person will ingest a certain amount of iodine compounds from food every day, absorb them into the blood circulation through the gastrointestinal tract, and be quickly absorbed and concentrated by the thyroid gland through the action of oxidase and enter the cells, and finally produce thyroxine, then the reason why patients with hyperthyroidism feel dry mouth is because the concentration of thyroxine in the human body is high, the patient's energy metabolism increases rapidly, the body's oxygen consumption increases significantly, and the heat production increases, The heat dissipation speed is also accelerated, and at the same time, the amount of water required by the human body will increase, so patients often feel dry mouth, so if it is a persistent dry mouth, and no matter how much water you drink, there is no way to relieve it!
