a bad mood. they sleep a lot and it looks like depression, but it isn't, isn't done. if you give the patient the necessary dose of thyroid hormones, they suddenly feel better as a underactive disorders are more common with around 200000000 people are affected worldwide. but the problem often isn't diagnosed despite the non dual lumps being easy to identify in english. and this is the left thyroid, low bush, middle east, and the whole thing looks like a butterfly, a star, and the right lobe is clearly enlarged and has all these nodules. second on these nodules can become cancerous depending on whether the thyroid is over or under active. the nodules can be hot or cold. and this is the image from the thyroid sim tinkersly issued for you can see both lobes device to tile to the right lobe has what we call a hot nadia life because it's constantly producing thyroid hormones. she was an

hormone pulled and see it far more dangerous or colder. not yours comprising dead thyroid tissue that no longer produces hormones. you feel is, is, this is the danger. comes from these cold nodules, either located and where thyroid tissue is decayed, potentially becoming malignant. survey need to be treated he, i with surgery or radioactive iodine therapy will tell people. unfortunately, the disease often goes undetected. when jojo bought i showed her diagnosis on instagram, she received a range of similar stories as a he had an interest in this one says that the doctor refused to refer me to a thyroid specialist because my blood levels were okay. ah, but the ultrasound had an abnormality dot, and it turns out i have says to not jewels and have to go back for an intake graphy empty coffee. the blogger advises any mom with similar symptoms to insist on us and to graphy or thyroid scam. because she doesn't want anyone to go through the same

ordeal. oh, the sign right land weighs just 20 grams and is about the size of a walnut. it's the body's metabolic control center. if it gets overactive, it can trigger a whole range of some tools. and it can also cause problems if it's under active. let's take a closer look at this vital gland. you show its shape, the thyroid is sometimes compared to a butterfly. it sits rather inconspicuously at the front of the neck. but appearances are deceptive. in fact, the thyroid is the sacred ruler of the organ. the key to the thyroid power is the hormones that it produces. fades, hormones rate, almost every cell in the body. they influence growth,

but also i metabolism and hate production within the cells. because the thyroid hormones as, sorry, powerful, it's important that the gland produces just the right amount, body temperature, blood pressure, and hot rate tend to be low if the thyroid is underactive and elevated if overactive. this can lead to sensitivity to the code on the one hand and hot flushes on the other. low thyroid hormones can slow digestion and lead to depression, while high homer levels can cause diarrhea, restlessness and sleep disorders. thyroid function can also affect the menstrual cycle and le bader from the beginning of pregnancy, children depend on the mother's thyroid hormones until the fetuses aren't. thyroid gland becomes active. hormones also play

a crucial role in physical development before birth. to be able to function, the thyroid needs one raw material in particular iodine. the human body cannot produce iodine itself and can only store it to a very limited extent. it must, therefore, been jested regularly through food. certain types of fish contain lots of iodine like haddock and salmon aster shellfish, dairy products, and egg. good non animal sources of iodine and nots spin age c weighed pumpkin and table, salting rich with iodine. interestingly, butterflies also have an organ that produces the same hormones as the thyroid gland . they control the metamorphosis from caterpillar's butterfly. just as our thyroid gland is involved in many changes in our lives.

a quarter is an enlarged thyroid gland. it's associated with an increase or decrease in thyroid hormones. the main symptom is swelling at the front of the neck. the most common cause is a lack of iodine in the diet which can be a problem in remote parts of the world. the recommended daily dose varies from country to country, but on average young people and adults need $100.00 to $200.00 micrograms per day. pregnant and breast feeding women need more. 100 grams of fish contain between 50 and 250 micrograms of iodine. the body also needs enough iron and selenium to absorb iodine. both of these minerals are found in meat, eggs, and lentils. thyroid problems are usually genetic. they tend to run in the family.

but bad habits can also play a role, such as smoking, cigarette smoke and hinder absorption of iodine and effect thyroid function. further risk factors include mental strain and psychological problems. in other words, prolonged stress. you're trying to get to sleep, but your heart is racing and you just can't relax and you could have an overactive fibroid. but what causes over production of thyroid hormones? it might be down to inflammation for a 1010000000 cynthia and a lie road inflammation is usually caused by auto immune conditions and fun, which can be exacerbated by stress factors as well. so stress can lead to an unclaimed thyroid with whom a modern life styles. a highly stressful stress is hard to avoid. the body needs

time to rest and relax or, or organ suffer. prolonged stress can also affect the thyroid gland with chronic stress. boosts the production of thyroid hormones. their task is to mobilize energy for the body cells won. sugar and fatty acids are released and transported to the muscles via the blood vessels activating the fight or flight response. but the fight or flight response doesn't help us much in our modern desk bound lives. when we're permanently stressed, cells become desensitized to molecular signals, reducing cellular uptake of thyroid hormones. the thyroid done starts producing more and more hormones can become inflamed. the internal issue to mover initially. inflammation of the thyroid gland causes for thyroid cells to produce more thyroid

hormones already. corn into fruit done, but chronic inflammation then cause a cell death. and as a result, hypo thyroid isn't. so did i not wonderful to hyper thyroidism an underactive, thyroid gland can go unnoticed for a while. the symptoms can be caused by other condition, but eventually inflammation, fullis, altenor damage thyroid. if it was a son that day, if the thyroid gland is completely replaced by scarring under effectively disappears, then there's no solution one to any megabits. it's fallen when the only option is to take it tablets to move to replace the thyroid hormone. so morn deutsche tablet and so as it's my, most of you have to take one tablet a day as what is a thyroid hormone? replacement therapy is widely available, right? man is relatively simple. i'm for huh. anyone suffering from too much?

stress needs to find ways to compensate with exercise and rest for the sake of the thyroid how that overall health failure to conceive can also be a symptom of thyroid problems. and under active thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones in men that can result in a loss of libido and erectile dysfunction. in women hormones are responsible for the menstrual cycle and egg maturation. any kind of hormonal imbalance reduces the likelihood of a pregnancy. a common cause of the under active thyroid is the condition. hashi motors, thyroid die tests. it's named after japanese physicists. takara has she moto, the 1st identified it in 1912? it's an auto immune disease which gradually destroys the thyroid gland.

to confirm and understand his anger can we can already see it here. and in normal and normal thyroid would be medium grey. here we have the thyroid lobe in longitudinal section on data with a lot of holes and trust. it almost looks like till said cheese, because the holes are the focus of the inflammation caused by the antibodies. which these, steve, it's already a kind of visual diagnosis in the ultrasound. i found that the, the thyroid stimulating hormone level is so high that the only real diagnosis you can make is the clinically relevant hush motos disease immortal to the did it. not all cases need treatment, but it will by fin, put in about 5 percent of those effected this leads to long term scoring and shrinkage of the oregon is ok with thyroid hormone production. coming to a halt and consume names from illegal hashi motos, firewood lighting is an auto immune disease. the bodies own defense system shown here in yellow attacks and damages the tissue of the thyroid gland,

even with patients who have activating anti bodies. the thyroid gland is constantly firing away and loop system no longer functions. the heating stays on, even though it's already warm enough. i'm going lucas, in about 50 percent of cases, medication is effective. unfortunately, it didn't help humanist offend ela by euro conklin and with graves disease. the antibodies greatly increased blood flow to the tissue, anti cover this believe is it's unlikely that the tablets will rectify that after more than 2 years to my and given your antibodies calmed by the un under covent easy. hm. what you need is either radioactive, iodine or surgery house and his organ under definite, t for tetra moore. a young man. but your thyroid gland is very large and i'd advise you to have an operation. there's a lot because you get a faster results, a good amount in ear, a box to one of aden's, mildest, deaf opener to list once the organ is removed by the normal function will return within a few days. but we can discuss the options with question one of one or other down
