Thyroid

An underactive thyroid gland, also known as hypothyroidism. The gland is not producing enough T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine). These hormones control metabolism, so underactive thyroid symptoms include fatigue, mentally foggy, depression, weight gain, slow pulse, constipation, dry hair and skin and nails, even low body temperature. Menstrual irregularities and feeling cold easily can occur as well. It can be easily treated by taking thyroid hormone daily. A TSH level (thyroid stimulating hormone) should be run as well, and will be high unless the pituitary gland is failing.

Like some humans, cats also have a more active thyroid gland. Cats have two thyroid glands. A disorder that is very common in old cats is called hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid glands).

If a needle biopsy is done, no special preparation is needed. If a large needle biopsy is being done, the doctor may order some tests to determine the clotting ability of the blood.

My Dr suggested 6 weeks, but I will see if I can get it tested again in four or five. My Dr suggested 6 weeks, but I will see if I can get it tested again in four or five.

In order to treat a thyroid disorder, a doctor must evaluate you. Make sure to take your medication exactly as prescribed. It is very dangerous to not take thyroid medicine.

Hi,

Yes it does. My most irritating symptom is severe back and neck pain. Other symptoms are sweating, racing heart, hand tremors , diarrhea and fatigue. I knew that it was not the flu because of the irregular heart beat and the hand tremors, but for me the pain was very bothersome until I was treated for the hyperthyroidism. Hope that helps.

Both types of reproductive organs produce hormones in addition to the production of ovum and sperm, respectively. The testes produce testosterone, and the ovaries produce estrogen and progesterone. Such hormones are responsible for control and onset of conception and the growth of offspring.

Phentermine is a stimulant commonly used for weight loss. Hyperthyroidism is when the thyroid is working a little to hard and may cause weightloss. The combination of hyperthyroidism with phentermine is like a recipe for anorexia without having to miss meals.

I certainly wouldn't think so. When something occurs in the front of the neck, and lymph gland reaction will be limited to the front of the neck. In the posterior neck, there are lymph glands there as well, but this "hard lump" could also be a sebaceous cyst. "Hard lump" is not usually heard from a patient, and I would be concerned and want to know if there are other "hard lumps", such as under the arms, and in the groin (and actually get to examine them). If there are multiple "hard lumps", I would strongly suggest you see a physician and let him determine the cause. There are many "innocent" reasons for swollen lymph glands (if that is what this is), but there are some not-so-innocent things that could cause that as well...

The thyroid cartilage forms the bulk of the anterior wall of the larynx, and serves to protect the vocal folds ("vocal cords") which are located directly behind it.

If you were recently pregnant, and now postpartum, that can cause a thyroid dosage to drop significantly. Talk with your doctor regarding dosage levels and any concerns you may have.

When the thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid stimulating hormones it becomes underactive, which is also known as hypothyroidism. When the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone it becomes overactive, which is also known as hyperthyriodism.

When the thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid stimulating hormones it becomes underactive, which is also known as hypothyroidism. The autoimmune thyroid condition, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, causes hypothyroidism as well.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, an enlarged thyroid, fatigue, loose bowels, forgetfulness, depression, sore muscles, dry skin, brittle nails, fluid retention, and for women this can also include frequent miscarriages and an inconsistent menstrual cycle.

When half the thyroid is removed due to a partial thyroidectomy, one might start to experience symptoms associated with hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. These symptoms can include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, menstrual irregularities, forgetfulness, depression, dry hair to name a few. Talk with your doctor about his/her follow up recommendations post-surgery, and how they will want to monitor your progress after having half of your thyroid removed.

The thyroid cartilage is the largest and uppermost of nine cartilages found in the larynx. It is commonly called the Adam's apple.

I've had an underactive Thyroid for many years. In April of last year i lost 95% of my hair, the doc said it could be down to my Thyroid problem in the fact that my stomach doesn't absorb vitamin B12. I'm now on 3 monthly B12 injections and I'm happy to say my hair has grown back. :)

for most of the girls during their puberty, they may have to fight with the thyroid disturbances. This is a natural phenomenon but these disturbances last for only a very short period may be till the first menstruation cycle or two. There might occur some irregularities in growth and physical appearances. They are not to be worried. In some extreme cases, the thyroid secretion may be in higher limits or might be in a minimal quantity than the required optimal amounts. This can lead to various psychological disturbances as well like depression, or any kind of change in the emotional feelings, loss of appetite, and feeling of a loss of mental strength. These might occur along with the other common thyroid imbalance symptoms like hair loss, dryness of the skin etc. These can be however rectified easily by supplementing the diet with iodine rich foods.

Iodine :)

Side effects appear to be mild. Patients have reported stomach upset, dry mouth, and nausea.

It depends on what radioactive substance your dealing with.

Appropriate amounts of the trace element iodine in the diet.
