Thyroid

complete blood cell count

Do a search for the effects of Lung Cancer. The original source (Thyroid) is immaterial.

The number you have given is an incomplete question. There are many tests used to find thyroid dysfunction, and all their numbers and normals will be different.

When looking at your lab sheet, there will be a test name, a *normal* value, and your result. Use the two numbers to help you compare to see if they are within normal values. Use the name to create discussion about your results.

*HINT* Thyroid normal values on a lab slip will not necessarily be YOUR normal value. Physicians look at the number and your symptoms to determine treatment. Both must be considered equally.

As long as your prescribing doctors are aware of the other conditions - to my knowledge these two medications are not contraindicated.

No there not but if you have aids possibly .

I'm not a physician, but have these same symptoms. Unfortunately I have a hypothyroid which probably has caused several other hormones to get out of whack thus bad body and breath odors. Despite my regular hygiene practices I can only mask these odors for 1-2 hours then have to get back at it with constant oral hygiene and body checks for odors!!!!! My new endocrinologist ask me to try Aldactone (typically a hypertension medication, but often used for polycystic ovary disease, by the way I have neither). I tried it and it significantly reduced my body odor to the point that I often only need one shower a day. It was proposed that a combination of insulin use and kidney function are to blame. The Aldactone just so happens to affect both of these according to the research I've read. My endocrinologist told me she was trying to adjust my testosterone levels using this medication and was stumped when I started reporting that my body odors had changed so drastically. Read up on this old HTN medication and see what you think. It's not a cure all but it definitely leads me to believe that I have a metabolism problem over anything else. People are funny and often think you can just take a bath and these problems should resolve themselves? If it was that simple...no one would have body odor because in this country (US) most people bath daily and use deodorant products. I feel that the medical community has really dropped the ball on this. I'd rather they find a true cause of the problem then let people feel as though a good bath with some mouthwash will do the trick. People...if you have bad breath and body odor, something is WRONG!!!! Because we want everyone to smell nice, it's almost taboo to discuss body odor, therefore doctors don't acknowledge it as a possible medical condition. Even malnourished people with poor medical care and filthy water conditions in 3rd world countries smell better than we do!!!! That's a problem! Good luck to anyone who reads this. May God be with you and bless you all your days :)

Early stages of menopause. As women age, especially after age 40, their periods are very erratic. Some go months without a period and some have several in a month.

In normal persons the tongue does not have anything to do with the Thyroid. Rarely, however the base of the tongue may have ectopic thyroid tissue

Goiter is a condition of the thyroid gland (in the neck) caused by a deficiency of the element "Iodine" in the diet.

Seawater/Sea salt contains Iodine and so do the animals that live in the sea. Therefore eating animals containing Iodine (sea food) will help prevent goiter.

well it takes about a week to get the stitches out. I got mine taken out after a week.

No; take a look at your thyroid testing results to talk about thyroid problems, not your CBC.

Thyroid dysfunction may be caused by anyone or more of several diseases and disorders. Dysfunction may result in too much hormone, or too little. In either case the thyroid is not functioning properly.

If the question refers to the thryoid function halting or under-functioning, then the most common cause is Hashimoto's Disease, however cold nodules in the thyroid can also cause a hypOthyroid condition, as can iodine deficiency. Eating too many goitregenic foods may cause a hypOthyroid condition. A less common cause of hypOthyroid function is a problem with the pituitary gland which is the master controller for the thyroid and other glands.

Thyroid conditions can affect the skin. When the thyroid gland is producing too much thyroid hormones, also known as hyperthyroidism, a symptom that can occur is the skin becomes smooth. Conversely, if the thyroid gland isn't producing enough thyroid hormones, also known as hypothyroidism, the skin can become dry and itchy. Talk with your doctor if you are undergoing treatment for your thyroid condition and experience long term skin symptoms.

Graves' Disease is an autoimmune condition in which the body makes antibodies that stimulate the excess production of thyroid hormones - called hyperthyroidism.

For appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction, please seek the help of a board certified endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid problems.

The thyroid is important because when it receives thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland it produces triiodothyronine which is commonly referred to as T3, and thyroxine which is commonly referred to as T4. These hormones regulate the metabolism, protein synthesis and sensitivity to other hormones in the body. The thyroid also produces calcitonin. The parathyroid glands are important because it controls calcium regulation, which is the amount of calcium that is in the blood and within the bones.

Constipation is one of the many symptoms associated with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the autoimmune version of hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is when your thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland that sits at the base of your neck, becomes under-active. The thyroid regulates your metabolism and therefore, if the gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones it is operating at a slower level. This affects other organs within your body, including your digestive processes. For some, chronic-constipation can be rather bothersome while managing a thyroid condition and healthy diet.

Talk with your primary care physician, or endocrinologist, regarding the severity of your constipation as it relates to your thyroid condition. As for how often you should have a digital rectal exam (DRE) test, ask them if it seems necessary to conduct one given your health history and symptoms. Typically a digital rectal examination is done in the event your doctor sees a need to check for problems with organs in the lower belly region.

Wheat isn't necessary a bad thing to incorporate into your diet if you have a thyroid condition. However, some thyroid patients have noticed that reducing the amount of gluten they eat, or eliminating it altogether from their diet, has improved some of the symptoms they experience as a result of their thyroid condition. This doesn't mean that eating gluten-free will improve your thyroid function, it just means it might help reduce the severity of symptoms like constipation, weight gain, fluid retention to name a few.
