    Hyperthyroidism is mostly due to emaciation, but some people also gain weight.

    Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) is a sensitive marker for diagnosing hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. If it is low, it is hyperthyroidism, and if it is high, it is hypothyroidism.

    There are three options for hyperthyroidism**

    First, radioactive iodine (iodine-131). However, after this method cures hyperthyroidism, it is easy to go to the other extreme, causing hypothyroidism, and it is lifelong hypothyroidism, with a probability of 60%. Another *** is to affect fertility.

    Second, surgery. The degree of risk is high because this site is where several major arteries and veins are present.

    Three, drugs. Hyperthyroidism** It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine ***** large, and the medication time is very long, and the average person can't stand it.

    Chinese medicine can be fully considered. It is treated with traditional Chinese medicine pills that dispel stasis and dissolve knots, detoxify and reduce swelling, and target pimples, lumps and inflammation. As long as you find the right medicine, it is not difficult for you to know.

    Due to my work, the author is well aware of the charm of traditional Chinese medicine, and has witnessed a large number of typical cases of hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis, thyroid tumor, thyroid nodules, goiter, lymphadenitis, and nameless swelling and poison, which have verified the uniqueness of traditional Chinese medicine in the motherland.

    Iodine-containing foods and iodine-containing drugs should be avoided for hyperthyroidism: iodine is the raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and after more iodine, the synthesis of thyroid hormones will be accelerated, which can aggravate the symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Foods to avoid:

    Seafood, soybeans, white radish, bamboo shoots, cabbage, corn, walnuts, iodized salt, etc. And don't eat spicy and fried, these are hot and dry foods. It is also necessary to quit smoking and drinking, regulate emotions, and anxiety and anger are especially bad for this disease.

    After getting angry or eating hot and dry food, some people will clearly feel discomfort in the affected area.

    The thyroid gland is located in the front of the neck, its main function is to secrete two thyroid hormones: triiodothyronine (referred to as T3) and thyroxine (referred to as T4), thyroid hormones play an important regulatory role in the human body, mainly in two aspects: affecting the differentiation and development of cells and regulating a variety of metabolic functions in the body, especially fat metabolism.

    They have a greater effect on the decomposition of fat than on the synthesis of fat. As a result, when thyroxine is oversecreted, that is, when people have hyperthyroidism ("hyperthyroidism"), people tend to be emaciated. When thyroxine secretion is too low, that is, when hypothyroidism (referred to as "hypothyroidism"), patients may be obese, and many patients with hypothyroidism also have lipidemia.

    The mechanism of obesity caused by hypothyroidism is mainly due to the lack of thyroxine, and the synthesis and degradation of lipids are inhibited. That is, less synthesize, less consumption, and the overall result is fat accumulation. In addition, patients with hypothyroidism have decreased energy expenditure, reduced physical activity, and depressed mood, all of which can lead to obesity.

    It is important to note that although the majority of patients with hypothyroidism have gained weight, only a small percentage of them are truly obese. Most people with hypothyroidism do not have an increase in body fat accumulation, but because hypothyroidism causes water to be stored in the body, so the weight gain is actually water. This water contains a lot of protein, and the edema caused by it is non-concave, which means that although it is edema, it does not pit when pressed with the fingers.

    After supplementing thyroxine in this part of the patients, the excess water retained in the body can be quickly excreted, and the weight can be rapidly reduced, and even the pre-morbidity level can be restored. However, if the patient's weight gain is due to fat deposits, thyroxine supplementation will not immediately return to the previous level. The reason why hypothyroidism rarely causes true obesity is that hypothyroidism also causes significant appetite suppression, and the patient eats less, so he cannot gain weight.

    As for the participation of thyroxine in simple obesity, a lot of research has also been done. It was found that the vast majority of people with simple obesity had normal thyroxine levels in their bodies, and only a few had mildly elevated T3 levels. Further research has shown that this increase in T3 is only due to the amount of carbohydrates they eat, and that T3 levels drop quickly once the amount of carbohydrates is reduced.

    Studies suggest that people who are simply obese may have a low level of normal thyroid function, so they have a weaker thermogenic function and less fat consumption. However, this hypothesis has not been conclusively confirmed and needs further research.

    Hello, patients with hypothyroidism can lead to obesity due to low metabolism, but hormones and adrenaline have little to do with it.

    Hello, hyperthyroidism is generally metabolically vigorous, not easy to gain weight, easy to lose weight; Hypothyroidism is the opposite. The onset of hypothyroidism is insidious, the course of the disease is long, and many patients lack specific symptoms and signs, and the main manifestations are decreased metabolic rate and sympathetic excitability.

    Because thyroid hormone deficiency can affect all systems throughout the body, all systems throughout the body are altered during hypothyroidism. The thyroid gland itself can atrophy or enlarge, and some patients with primary hypothyroidism may have an enlarged pituitary gland if they are not treated in time**, and then recover.

    Hyperthyroidism (i.e., hyperthyroidism) is caused by excessive thyroid secretion. The secretion of the thyroid gland can promote the body's metabolism, and if its secretion is too vigorous, it will speed up the body's metabolism and quickly lose weight.

    Most people usually confuse hyperthyroidism with goiter, which is why they say that hyperthyroidism causes obesity. The ** of goiter is the opposite of hyperthyroidism. It is caused by insufficient thyroid secretion, and usually people who get the disease will have a thick neck, which is called big neck disease. More iodine supplementation is required.

    This question can be like this for you first:

    If you eat, drink, sleep, and don't exercise all day long, you will definitely gain weight.

    Thyroidectomy, you need to check thyroid function, because thyroidectomy may cause hypothyroidism, and hypothyroidism is caused by decreased metabolism, so the patient will gain weight.

    Is it currently given to Alpha orally? This medicine can help you restore thyroid function and can help you restore your metabolism, so you must keep taking this medicine to control your weight.

    It will have some effect, but people who have had their thyroid removed generally take thyroxine, so having their thyroid removed is not the only cause of obesity.

An underactive thyroid does not cause tachycardia! Your symptoms also rarely happen! Asthma can't be sure! Low thyroidism is autoimmune and impairing. It can also be that the thyroid gland is destroyed! Iodine overdose! I've taken antithyroid medicine! FYI!

Thyroiditis is a more common type of thyroiditis, characterized by lymphocyte infiltration, accompanied by cytoplasmic eosinophilia of follicular epithelial cells, which can cause swelling and pain in the throat when it occurs, and may cause thyroid cancer if not timely. Hyperthyroidism is a condition caused by too much thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland. Excessive thyroid hormone can cause a series of clinical manifestations, such as heat intolerance, excessive sweating, hyperphagia, weight loss, palpitation, emotional tension and irritability. >>>More
