In medical clinical cases, women are more likely to develop hyperthyroidism than men, and some studies suggest that this is due to different hormone levels in the bodies of men and women. In short, hyperthyroidism patients are relatively common, and early treatment has a good prognosis. How to detect early hyperthyroidism, it is necessary to pay attention to the initial manifestations of women with hyperthyroidism.
The initial manifestation of hyperthyroidism in women
1. Thyroid enlargement. This is one of the typical symptoms of hyperthyroidism, which is the enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck, which is generally symmetrical, but there are also some patients with symmetrical enlargement.
2. Abnormal physiological period. About 1/5 of female patients will experience sparse menstruation, prolonged cycles, and even amenorrhea.
3. Physical abnormalities. Such as fear of heat and sweat, moist skin, irritability, palpitations, fatigue, weight loss, etc.
4. Palpitations and palpitations. Patients can also experience palpitations as the initial symptom, and they may say that they have had particularly recent palpitations, which are the earliest and most prominent manifestation of hyperthyroidism in the cardiovascular system.
5. Causes heart disease. Severe hyperthyroidism patients may also suffer from hyperthyroidism heart disease, which does not require special treatment. As long as hyperthyroidism is well controlled, the patient's heart function can also return to normal.
Is it easy to treat hyperthyroidism in women
1. Use conservative internal medicine medication, including drugs such as propranolol, methylthiouracil, and propylthiouracil to control hyperthyroidism.
When the internal medicine treatment effect is not ideal, iodine 131 radiotherapy can be chosen to achieve the goal of treating hyperthyroidism. The effect is ideal, and most hyperthyroidism patients can be cured.
3. Internal Conservative management and iodine-131 radiotherapy can not control the symptoms very well. Most or subtotal thyroidectomy can be used for recurrent hyperthyroidism, and the effect is the best for patients with hyperthyroidism.
