Radon is a cause of lung cancers.

You may want to talk to your doctor or gynecologist about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. It can cause all of those symptoms. The biggest marker is the irregular periods.

Thyroid nodules are often referred to as *cold* or *hot*. A cold nodule is not producing hormones. A hot nodule is producing hormones - usually too much.

After a Radioactive Iodine treatment you should regularly visit your doctor to check for recurrence of cancer and side effects. After about 1/2 to a year later you will probably get one more iodine scan as a precaution. Blood tests will also be administered to observe your thyroid's functions. Many other tests can be done to be proactive.

Mainly because it is best absorbed on an empty stomach (which actually means you should be taking it an hour before breakfast, not just in the morning).

You should go to your Doctor. If you don't have a regular Doctor, ask some trusted friends who they would recommend, sounds like you could have something going on that may need treatment.

Talk to your doctor if you have any questions regarding what you need to do 12 hours before a blood test; especially if they are screening thyroid levels in addition to a metabolic scan. If this is the case, some doctors will want you to fast and take your medication(s) as directed. Typically, if you are only having thyroid levels checked you probably won't be asked to fast. You will want to take your medication as directed, though.

Lingual thyroid gland is a rare clinical entity caused by failure of the gland to descend from in anlage, early during the course of embryogenesis. The symptoms may include dysphagia, dyspnea, dyphonia, stridor, and rarely bleeding. Any time there is an increase demand for thyroid hormone like, puberty, pregnancy, trauma, infection, and menopause, the symptoms may become drastic. This may cause severe respiratory distress resulting in a medical emergency. Treatment may include thyroid ablation through radioactive iodine treatment or surgical removal.

The old Total T4 test (TT4) is no longer considered the best way to test for T4 levels. T4 and T3 can both be bound by other proteins and hormones in the body. When this happens, the T4 or T3 is not usable by the body. The body can only use T4 and T3 that is not bound, or free. For this reason, Free T4, which only tests the free levels of the hormone, is now preferred over Total T4 testing as more accurate.

Most thyroid ultrasounds are performed to evaluate a small lump (nodule) in the thyroid found during a physical examination or found by a radionuclide study (thyroid scan).

Hyperthyroidism can lead to hair changes primarily due to the increased metabolism and hormonal imbalances it causes in the body. The overproduction of thyroid hormones accelerates the hair growth cycle, resulting in thinning hair or hair loss as hairs enter the shedding phase more quickly. Additionally, the condition can disrupt the normal functioning of hair follicles, leading to brittle, dry, or fine hair. These changes are often reversible with proper treatment of the underlying hyperthyroidism.

The gland most closely associated with the thyroid gland is the parathyroid gland. Typically, there are four parathyroid glands located on the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. These glands play a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the blood by producing parathyroid hormone (PTH). Their close anatomical proximity allows for coordinated regulation of metabolism and calcium homeostasis.

A complex solid nodule in the thyroid is a type of thyroid nodule that contains both solid and cystic (fluid-filled) components. These nodules can vary in size and may be benign or malignant. Evaluation typically involves ultrasound imaging and, if necessary, a fine-needle aspiration biopsy to determine their nature and guide treatment options. Regular monitoring may be recommended, especially if the nodule exhibits suspicious features.

Yes, there can be a relationship between low hemoglobin levels and thyroid function. Hypothyroidism, a condition characterized by low thyroid hormone levels, can lead to anemia, often resulting in decreased hemoglobin levels. This occurs because thyroid hormones play a role in erythropoiesis, the production of red blood cells. Therefore, individuals with thyroid disorders may experience related hematological issues.

Thyroid medication is not commonly associated with loss of smell and taste as a direct side effect. However, fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels, whether from underactive or overactive thyroid conditions, can impact sensory functions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if you experience these symptoms while on thyroid medication, as they could be related to other underlying issues or medications.
