Patient's question:
Born with hypothyroidism screening, experts recommended stopping medication at the age of 6, and has now been off medication for two years, normal. Why does this happen?Doctor's answer:
Hypothyroidism is the abbreviation for hypothyroidism, also known as "hypothyroidism." Hypothyroidism refers to a systemic disease caused by insufficient synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones or their physiological effects. Therefore, this disease is not easily diagnosed in its early stages, requiring patients or their families to gradually notice it. Common causes of hypothyroidism in middle-aged and elderly people include: previous thyroid surgery, thyroiditis, radioactive iodine 131 treatment, autoimmune diseases, or recent discontinuation of thyroid hormone. Early symptoms of "hypothyroidism" in middle-aged and elderly people are often cold intolerance, fatigue, sleepiness, poor appetite, constipation, and menstrual disorders. These symptoms are often regarded as natural signs of aging and thus may not be taken seriously. Long-term patients often suffer from fat metabolism disorders and hypercholesterolemia.
