    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.

    These two conditions have distinct symptoms at the onset of the disease and are easily recognizable when examined in the hospital. Patients are advised to actively undergo follow-up examinations to avoid delaying their condition.

    Hello, there is a big difference between thyroid and hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland is a tissue and organ of the human body, and hyperthyroidism is a disease.

    Hyperthyroidism is caused by excessive thyroid hormone secreted by the thyroid gland, hyperthyroidism is not iodine deficiency or excessive iodine in the body, mainly iodine is a substance that synthesizes thyroid hormones, and excessive iodine intake can easily lead to excessive thyroid hormone secretion, so hyperthyroidism needs to control iodine intake.

    Hello, the thyroid gland and hyperthyroidism are very different, first of all, the thyroid gland is an endocrine gland of the human body, the main role is to synthesize and secrete thyroid hormone and triiodothyronine, the main function is to promote the metabolism of energy, the metabolism of substances and the normal growth and development of the human body, hyperthyroidism refers to the function of the thyroid gland to become stronger, the main manifestation is that some basic metabolic rate of some human bodies will become higher, and the function of some other organs and tissues will become stronger, Generally, the thyroid gland will become larger, and the eyes will protrude, and there will be some other manifestations, such as women will have fewer menstruation. Patients with hyperthyroidism will also have a greater appetite and are particularly hungry, which is because the patient's body has too much thyroid hormone, which strengthens the body's digestive function, and the patient's metabolism will be faster, so they will eat more but be thin.

    The first thing to understand is that the thyroid gland is the most important endocrine organ of the human body, located below the thyroid cartilage, on both sides of the trachea, and is composed of the isthmus and the left and right lateral lobes, the isthmus can sometimes extend upwards with a pyramidal lobe, which can be connected to the hyoid bone by fibrous tissue and levator thyroid muscle.

    Secondly, hyperthyroidism is a more common endocrine disease (thyroid organ), according to the current medical level and medical conditions, in accordance with the context and changes of the disease, usually doctors can figure out the disease, check out, and can get an early diagnosis.

    Hope it helps!

    There is a difference between thyroid and hyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland is the endocrine gland of the human body, which can synthesize and secrete thyroxine, which plays a very important role in human development and energy metabolism. When thyroxine secretion is excessive, hyperthyroidism will occur, and it is easy to have symptoms such as irritability, palpitation, irregular heartbeat, or weight loss, heat intolerance, sweating, insomnia, etc., which can be carried out by oral medication ** or surgery**, and can also be carried out with iodine 131**, but it must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor**.

    The thyroid gland is one of the endocrine organs, which is divided into two lobes on both sides below the thyroid cartilage, which are connected to each other and can secrete thyroxine. Thyroxine is a class of iodine-containing compounds that promote metabolism and increase blood sugar. Hyperthyroidism is short for hyperthyroidism and is caused by excessive thyroxine production.

    Symptoms are goiter, palpitations, hand tremors, protrusions, heat intolerance, increased appetite, weight loss, etc.

    The thyroid gland is not the same as hyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland is an important gland in the human body, and hyperthyroidism is a disease that causes excessive metabolic metabolism and sympathetic nervous system excitation due to the synthesis and release of excessive thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland, causing palpitations, hand tremors, sweating, increased eating and stool, weight loss and other symptoms.

    The difference between thyroid and hyperthyroidism is very significant.

    The thyroid gland is the endocrine gland of the human body, located on both sides of the trachea under the thyroid cartilage, which is butterfly-shaped, and is not easy to touch under normal circumstances, mainly secreting thyroid hormones to regulate the normal metabolic function of the human body.

    Hyperthyroidism is the name of a disease in which the thyroid gland secretes too much thyroid hormone due to a variety of different factors, and a series of clinical symptoms appear.

    In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland also changes, the mass grows in size, the arteries of the thyroid gland thicken, and a bruit occurs.

    1. Hyperthyroidism is completely different from the thyroid gland, which is a butterfly-like organ in the neck, while hyperthyroidism is a disease that occurs in the thyroid tissue, the full name is hyperthyroidism.

    2. Of course, many diseases can occur in the thyroid gland, in addition to hyperthyroidism, there may also be hypothyroidism, thyroiditis and so on. Patients with hyperthyroidism often have clinical manifestations such as heat intolerance, sweating, palpitations, hand tremors, weight loss, excessive food and hunger, etc., if these clinical manifestations appear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for thyroid function to check whether there is hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism can be taken by mouth**, but the medication must be used under the guidance of a doctor.

    To know whether you have hyperthyroidism, doctors need to diagnose it through clinical symptoms combined with thyroid function tests, thyroid autoantibody measurements, iodine-131 iodine uptake rate, etc.

    Symptoms of hyperthyroidism can manifest as weight loss, polyphagia, rapid heartbeat, hand tremors, changes in the menstrual cycle, proptosis, thick neck, ** changes, increased frequency of bowel movements, limb weakness, excessive sweating, heat intolerance and some psychiatric symptoms. If you find the above symptoms, you should go to a regular hospital for medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.

    In this case, the following inspection methods can be used.

    1. Thyroid function test is an important means of hyperthyroidism, through blood testing, to obtain thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), total thyroxine (TT4), free thyroxine (FT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), free triiodothyronine (FT3) these five indicators of data to evaluate thyroid function. This test can basically determine whether there is hyperthyroidism, hyperthyroidism, etc.

    2. Thyroid autoantibody testing can help diagnose hyperthyroidism, through blood tests, to detect whether thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid microsomal antibodies, thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, etc. are detected in the serum, and according to the number of antibodies, it can help diagnose which autoimmune thyroid disease has occurred.

    3. Iodine 131 iodine uptake rate test is an important means of hyperthyroidism, the principle of the examination is oral administration of solutions or capsules containing iodine 131, use an extracorporeal detector to check the dynamic changes of intrathyroid radiation count, to understand the iodine uptake of the thyroid gland, if the iodine 131 (131i) uptake rate increases, it means that after the thyroid cells obtain iodine, a large number of thyroid hormones are synthesized, which may be hyperthyroidism.

    Fourth, thyroid radionuclide scanning is an important examination to identify hyperthyroidism, intubation in the patient's elbow vein, injection of contrast agent, scanning of the thyroid gland, can grasp the size and position, morphological structure, blood flow, function and metabolic status of the thyroid gland, the examination is of great significance for the diagnosis of thyroid autonomic hyperfunctional adenoma.

    5. Ultrasonography can help diagnose hyperthyroidism, ultrasonography can grasp the size, shape, functional status, internal texture and surrounding blood flow of the thyroid gland, if the thyroid artery blood flow rate is increased during the examination, it may be hyperthyroidism.

    The main hazards of hyperthyroidism are thyroid storm, hyperthyroid eye disease, hyperthyroid heart disease, osteoporosis, pretibial myxedema, hyperthyroid myopathy, etc. Once diagnosed, you should actively cooperate with the doctor**, follow the doctor's instructions, follow the course of treatment, and treat scientifically to avoid aggravation of the condition.

    Physical examination reveals goiter (mild to severe) in patients, goiter is often inconspicuous in older patients, the thyroid gland is soft or medium, and in severe cases, a full-length bruit can be heard with a stethoscope, and severe hyperthyroidism may even have tremors to the touch. Most patients with hyperthyroidism have a rapid heart rate, often exceeding 90 beats at rest, and older patients may present with rapid atrial fibrillation. Patients with hyperthyroidism have hot flashes, tremors of the hands, and many patients also show eyelid edema, widening of the palpebral fissures, less blink in both eyes, and bulbar conjunctival hyperemia and edema.

    Severe cases may present with proptosis, limited eye movement, and even incomplete eyelid closure.

    Diagnosing hyperthyroidism is not difficult, and thyroid function tests are often done as long as hyperthyroidism is considered. Tests show elevated levels of thyroid hormones in the blood, often decreased TSH, increased thyroid iodine-131 uptake, and increased basal metabolic rate. Thyroid antibodies in the blood, thyroid ultrasound and other tests can also help to identify hyperthyroidism.

    Hyperthyroidism is not a terminal disease, hyperthyroidism is referred to as "hyperthyroidism", which is caused by the thyroid gland synthetizing and releasing excessive thyroid hormones, resulting in hypermetabolism and sympathetic nerve excitation, causing palpitations, sweating, increased eating and stool and weight loss. Most patients also often have symptoms such as proptosis, eyelid edema, and vision loss.

    It should be done as soon as possible after illness**.
