What are the early symptoms of hyperthyroidism in women?

Hyperthyroidism is a common disease in real life. Women with hyperthyroidism have a great impact on their health and are likely to experience some changes in their bodies. The early symptoms of hyperthyroidism in women include loss of appetite and swelling in the neck area, which can easily affect the normal digestive system and require timely treatment.

What are the early symptoms of hyperthyroidism in women?

Symptom 1: Hypermetabolism

Typically, patients have symptoms of excessive heat production, such as intolerance of heat, warm skin, and moist, sweaty skin, especially in the palms.

Symptom 2: Digestive system

Hyperphagia is a common symptom of hyperthyroidism. Although patients with hyperthyroidism eat a lot, it is far from keeping up with their consumption. Therefore, most female patients with hyperthyroidism lose weight. Some patients even have diarrhea due to increased gastrointestinal motility and a series of digestive system symptoms.

Symptom 3: Psychoneural system

Early symptoms of female hyperthyroidism may also include mental symptoms such as tension, irritability, irritability, and insomnia. As the disease worsens, some patients may even develop mental disorders such as depression and mania, which affect their normal life and work.

Symptom 4: Cardiovascular system

Patients generally have an increased and faster heartbeat and often feel palpitations. Most heart rhythms are regular, but there may be an irregular heartbeat occasionally. Due to the increase in left ventricular stroke volume, the cardiac load continues to increase, which can cause left ventricular hypertrophy, and the appearance of a blowing murmur at the apical systolic level and a hyperactive first heart sound. In the late stage, heart failure may occur, posing a serious threat to the patient's life.

What are the chances of curing hyperthyroidism?

1. During the diagnosis and treatment process, patients generally cannot persist in taking long-term medication. Chronic diseases such as hyperthyroidism generally require continuous medication for more than three to six months to be cured. Patients usually cannot persist. If there is no effect after one or two months of treatment, they stop taking the medicine or change doctors for diagnosis and treatment. This can easily induce the onset of the disease.

Second, there is no symptomatic treatment, or some patients choose small clinics and buy some medicines for convenience, which delays the disease. In fact, with the continuous development of science, diseases that were incurable before do not mean they cannot be cured now.

Third, the correct treatment method is not chosen. Traditional treatments for hyperthyroidism often include iodine-131 treatment, surgical treatment and Western medicine treatment. The first two methods have low cure rates and high recurrence rates, and are prone to cause permanent hypothyroidism, requiring lifelong medication. In addition, surgery has certain risks and is not suitable for use. Western medicine only treats the symptoms of hyperthyroidism and not the root cause, and has certain side effects, resulting in long-term failure to cure the disease and causing patients to lose confidence.
