Hypothyroidism

This is an endocrine disease associated with insufficient production of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) by the thyroid gland. This leads to a slowdown in metabolism and disruption of many body functions.
Hypothyroidism
Hormones T3 and T4 play an important role in maintaining normal metabolism, and their deficiency affects the functioning of all body systems. In this regard, the symptoms of hypothyroidism can be diverse, affecting both the physical and mental health of the patient.

Reasons

Autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease)

Subacute and postpartum thyroiditis

Treatment with radioactive iodine or removal of the thyroid gland

Iodine deficiency

The use of drugs (amiodarone, lithium, interferon)

Hypofunction of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus

Hereditary predisposition

Age over 60 years old

Symptoms

Constant fatigue and lethargy

An increase in body weight, despite a normal diet

Feeling cold and chilly

Dry, thickened skin, brittle hair

Puffiness

Constipation, decreased appetite

Slow speech, coarsening of the voice

Depression, impaired memory and concentration

Irregular menstruation or lack thereof in women

Cardiac arrhythmias and low blood pressure

Consequences

One of the most dangerous complications is hypothyroid coma. This condition is characterized by a sharp decrease in body temperature, respiratory disorders, seizures and loss of consciousness. The mortality rate in hypothyroid coma can reach 60%, even with timely medical care.

In addition, hypothyroidism can lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases, in particular, atherosclerosis. Patients often experience anemia, which exacerbates general weakness and fatigue. Disorders of the reproductive system are also common consequences of hypothyroidism. In women, this can lead to infertility, and in men, to a decrease in libido and erectile dysfunction.

Treatment

alt
Conservative treatment:
The treatment of hypothyroidism consists in hormone replacement therapy with thyroid hormones, which normalize metabolism. The dosage of the drugs is selected individually by the doctor after a thorough diagnosis of the patient. The initiation of treatment requires a gradual dose adjustment, especially in elderly patients and those with cardiovascular diseases.
alt
Surgical treatment:
Surgical treatment of hypothyroidism is usually not performed, since the disease is associated with insufficient thyroid function, and not with its pathological overgrowth or tumors.
