Thyroid dysfunction in women

Our thyroid cyst is located in the neck, which has a great impact on our body. If there is a problem with the thyroid cyst, problems may also occur elsewhere in the body. However, thyroid disease is often confused with other diseases, and the incidence of thyroid disease in women is 5-8 times that of men.

Therefore, female friends must pay enough attention to this matter. Before a woman develops thyroid disease, there are 7 conditions that may occur in her body that need to be treated with caution!

1. Abnormal blood pressure

When our thyroid hormone levels drop, our heart rate slows down, which can cause problems elsewhere in the body. If we suffer from a thyroid cyst, our blood pressure will rise and our heart rate will increase. Therefore, neither low nor high blood pressure is a good thing.

2. The mentality is difficult to control, and there are ups and downs

If a woman is not in menopause, and suddenly notices an abnormal change in her mood, it may be caused by a change in estrogen in the body. At this time, we need to consider whether there is a thyroid cyst problem.

3. Irregular menstrual period

In fact, women’s menstrual volume may also be related to thyroid disease. If thyroid hormone is low, it is likely to increase a woman's menstrual flow and change her normal menstrual cycle. But if you have a thyroid cyst, your menstrual period will be less frequent or even absent.

4. Dry Skin and Hair Loss

Many female friends find themselves aging. Their skin starts to feel dry, their hair starts to fall out, and their body functions become slow. This condition is usually caused by low thyroid hormone.

5. Edema and dryness around the eyes

Many patients who already have thyroid disease usually have obvious bags around their eyes. It is worth mentioning that there are also cases of dryness and edema. Therefore, in daily life, when female friends are not allergic to drugs or are too nervous, and find that their eyes are becoming more and more swollen and extremely dry, they must be alert to the occurrence of thyroid disease.

6. Weight change

When we have hypothyroidism, our body functions slow down, including our metabolic rate, so of course we gain weight. However, if the thyroid gland is overactive, the situation will be reversed and unexplained weight loss may occur. Therefore, it is not good to gain weight or lose fat in the short term. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

7. Temperature sensor change

If you have thyroid disease, you will be very sensitive to temperature changes. People with hypothyroidism may experience reduced blood circulation in their body, which may cause them to feel cold frequently.

In daily life, if female friends have any of the above seven conditions, it is best to remain vigilant. If necessary, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to prevent thyroid disease. After all, the human body comes first, and nothing is more important than the human body!
