What are the dangers of female thyroid gland

Thyroiditis is a very common symptom, and among the sick population, there are more and more female patients. After suffering from thyroiditis, the impacts and damages suffered are unavoidable. So, what are the effects of thyroiditis on women? Next, let’s discuss what the authoritative experts from the Thyroid Hospital have to say.

What is thyroiditis?

In simple terms, thyroiditis is inflammation of the thyroid gland.

It can be divided into subacute, acute and chronic, and can occur in any age group. It causes great harm to everyone, especially to women.

Patients with thyroiditis will experience severe pain in their thyroid cysts, and often also have general discomfort, fatigue, muscle pain, and may also be accompanied by fever.

After a temporary recovery, the disease may recur several times within a few months, and the thyroid cyst will be larger than normal.

Experts at the Thyroid Hospital point out that thyroiditis is very harmful to patients. Thyroid nodules may compress the bronchi, affecting breathing. Over time, the bronchi may become soft and cause suffocation.

If the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the neck vein are compressed, the patient may experience hoarseness in the throat and swelling of the face.

If not treated in time, when the inflammation destroys the thyroid tissue to a certain extent, our thyroid will not be able to secrete enough thyroid hormone, which will lead to permanent hypothyroidism.

What are the consequences of thyroiditis in women?

1. Hypothyroidism can cause people to be in a sub-healthy state due to the slowdown of basal metabolism. Wang Xiaoge, an authoritative expert in the outpatient department of the Thyroid Hospital, emphasized that hypothyroidism in pregnant mothers will continue to cause thyroid hormone imbalance, and they need to go to the hospital for regular physical examinations to prevent affecting the baby's development. The chances of fetal miscarriage and deformity are increased, and after the fetus is born, it will also cause physical, intellectual and language development delays. In daily life, you should also pay attention to preventing this disease to reduce the chance of suffering from this disease. This is the harm of thyroiditis.

2. Hashimoto's disease is also known as diffuse reticulocytic thyroiditis. In the early stage of the disease, it is mainly characterized by vague swelling of the thyroid gland. If not treated in time, it will cause many complications, hyperthyroidism being one of them. Thyroiditis itself is not fatal, but it can cause hyperthyroidism, which can lead to hyperthyroidism heart disease and crisis, and it is very easy to cause coma and cataplexy. If you develop hypothyroidism, you will need to take medication for a long time, which is also a common harm of thyroiditis.

3. Although the chance of this disease developing is relatively small, there is still a risk, especially if it happens to an individual, it is 100% disaster. If the two are confused, there will be focal thyroiditis. Therefore, it is very important to prevent complications during the treatment period of thyroiditis.

The above is a detailed introduction to the consequences of thyroiditis in women. Experts from the Thyroid Hospital remind everyone that thyroiditis can occur in people of any age group and it can cause great harm to us, especially to women. Therefore, if thyroiditis is diagnosed, you should actively go to the hospital for medical treatment.
