Early symptoms of hyperthyroidism in women

Hyperthyroidism, which is what we usually call "big neck disease". The most common hyperthyroidism is caused by iodine deficiency in the body, so most of the salt we eat now is iodized salt, in order to replenish the iodine content in our body in time to prevent the occurrence of hyperthyroidism. Of course, in addition to defects that lead to hyperthyroidism, there are many other reasons that cause hyperthyroidism in the human body. There is no obvious difference in the incidence of hyperthyroidism among people, and men, women, young and old can all be infected.

In fact, regardless of gender, people will feel very uncomfortable after suffering from hyperthyroidism, because this disease seriously affects their appearance, especially women, because girls are naturally very fond of beauty. So, what are the early symptoms of hyperthyroidism in women?

Hyperthyroidism, abbreviated as "hyperthyroidism", is a disease caused by the thyroid gland synthesizing and releasing too much thyroid hormone, which causes the body's hypermetabolism and sympathetic nerve excitement, leading to palpitations, sweating, increased eating and bowel movements, and weight loss. Most patients also often have symptoms such as exophthalmos, eyelid edema, and decreased vision.

Causes of hyperthyroidism include diffuse toxic goiter (also known as Graves' disease), inflammatory hyperthyroidism (subacute thyroiditis, painless thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis, and Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism), drug-induced hyperthyroidism (levothyroxine sodium and iodine-induced hyperthyroidism), hCG-related hyperthyroidism (transient hyperthyroidism due to vomiting of pregnancy), and pituitary TSH tumor hyperthyroidism.

Hypermetabolism.

Medical research shows that, in general, female hyperthyroidism patients will have symptoms of excessive heat production in the early stages, such as fear of heat, warm skin, moist and sweaty skin, especially in the palms.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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 and the continuous increase in cardiac load, left ventricular hypertrophy may occur, and a blowing murmur may occur at the apical systolic level, and the first heart sound may be hyperactive. In the late stage, heart failure may occur, posing a serious threat to the patient's life.

Through the above introduction, everyone should have a general idea of ​​the harm of hyperthyroidism, so female friends must pay attention. If you accidentally suffer from hyperthyroidism, please don’t care too much about your appearance for the time being. It is best to go to the hospital for treatment in time. Because if hyperthyroidism is not treated in time, it will damage many organs of the human body, and it will be too late to go to the hospital for treatment at that time. Because the health of the body has been harmed.
