Why do women get hyperthyroidism?

In daily life, many girls suffer from hyperthyroidism. Many people have this question: why are there more girls with hyperthyroidism than boys? This is because girls’ bodies are too weak, and their faster metabolism will lead to changes in their emotions. The endocrine system is vital to girls. Once the endocrine system is invaded, hyperthyroidism can easily occur. So, why do women get hyperthyroidism?

1. Both iodine deficiency and iodine excess are prone to hyperthyroidism

There are many causes of hyperthyroidism. Possible factors include: genetics. Some cases have a family clustering phenomenon. If parents have hyperthyroidism, their children are also prone to the disease; iodine content. In the past, it was generally believed that iodine deficiency was the main cause of hyperthyroidism, but current research has also found that excessive iodine intake can also cause hyperthyroidism.

In addition, the working environment and living environment also have a certain impact. Emotional depression and long-term high-pressure state are inducements, and the disease is prone to occur when exposed to mental stimulation.

2. Prevent hyperthyroidism: Reduce stress and stay optimistic

Since hyperthyroidism is closely related to the amount of iodine, the first thing to do in prevention is to prevent low iodine, but at the same time, you should not take too much iodine. People in the coastal areas of Guangdong love to eat seafood, but they should not eat too much and should act according to the situation.

At the same time, maintaining a normal mind is important for preventing hyperthyroidism. Experts emphasize that thyroid disease has a certain genetic tendency, and the incidence rate is higher in women, people with family history, and those who have suffered mental trauma and infection. But this is only a risk factor. The key lies in a person's psychological quality and attitude towards life, because negative emotions can affect appetite and sleep at the very least, and can even affect immune function and physical health at the worst.

In the follow-up of patients with hyperthyroidism, it was found that many patients had suffered mental stimulation before the onset of the disease. Therefore, experts emphasize that a good outlook on life is a good medicine for preventing hyperthyroidism. We should maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards the things around us and not get stuck in a rut when faced with setbacks or failures. In addition, busy young people should try to keep their work environment relaxed, maintain harmony in their family life, and try to reduce stress.
