Hypothyroidism, the complete opposite of hyperthyroidism, is a series of symptoms caused by hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism is often very tormenting, many people do not know how hypothyroidism develops, let's take a look.
The thyroid gland doesn't "strike" for no reason, so you have to figure out why you have hypothyroidism?
Chronic inflammation is the main "root cause" of hypothyroidism! ”
In thyroid disease, the most common chronic inflammation is Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is also the most common cause of hypothyroidism, according to statistics, more than ninety percent of hypothyroidism patients have Hashimoto's thyroiditis at the same time, therefore, most of the hypothyroidism is actually developed after suffering from Hashimoto's thyroiditis. After suffering from Hashimoto, because our own immune system is disordered, we cannot correctly recognize the substances entering the human body, so we mistakenly regard thyroid cells as harmful substances, and constantly produce antibodies to destroy thyroid tissue, so as to lead to continuous damage to thyroid cells, and eventually lead to hypothyroidism, and some patients will develop lifelong hypothyroidism if they do not intervene in time**.
But in the final analysis, it is a developmental disease, not as long as hypothyroidism appears, it must be lifelong hypothyroidism, the development of hypothyroidism also has its process, early intervention can also control the development of the disease as much as possible, to avoid the development of lifelong hypothyroidism.
What are the stages of hypothyroidism?
OneMildHypothyroidism
Mild hypothyroidism is an early stage of hypothyroidism and usually has no obvious symptoms or only mild fatigue and sensitivity to cold. Also called subclinical hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism at this stage is relatively mild and has little impact on the patient's life and work. However, if the disease is not intervened in time** and effective measures are taken to control the disease, there is also a possibility of further progression.
At this stage, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is usually 10.
IIModerateHypothyroidism
Moderate hypothyroidism is the middle stage of hypothyroidism, during which more obvious symptoms may appear, such as fatigue, cold intolerance, edema, constipation, obesity, drowsiness, and lack of energy. In addition, some patients may also have symptoms such as hypothyroid heart disease, dyslipidemia, and anemia. The hypothyroidism at this stage is more serious, indicating that the thyroid gland has been destroyed more obviously, this stage, the patient's quality of life and work have a very large impact, and must be taken professionally and effectively.
In moderate hypothyroidism, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) is usually 10 and 100.
IIISevereHypothyroidism
Severe hypothyroidism is the late stage of hypothyroidism, when more severe systemic symptoms appear, such as fatigue, cold intolerance, edema, etc. In addition to this, hair loss, constipation, memory loss, depressed mood, etc. can occur. At this stage, hypothyroidism is very obvious, and in severe cases, myxedema will occur, which is a great threat to health.
In severe cases, TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) 100.
To prevent lifelong hypothyroidism, control chronic inflammation first!
When Hashimoto has not yet developed hypothyroidism, or when there are just signs of hypothyroidism, timely treatment** can avoid the occurrence of lifelong hypothyroidism. Through drug intervention, the drug intervenes in the thyroid gland, so as to directly regulate the immune function, through the blood circulation, let the drug factors enter the immune system, correct the immune damage, so as to reduce the antibody level and restore the thyroid function to normal.
Epilogue. Hypothyroidism does not appear for no reason, first of all, we must understand the causes and types of hypothyroidism, and actively take countermeasures, this article explains the various stages of hypothyroidism and the ways to deal with Hashimoto's hypothyroidism.
