Should I see a Chinese doctor or a Western doctor for hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism is a phenomenon of abnormal secretion of thyroid hormones. People with hyperthyroidism will have many symptoms, such as frequent urination, gradual weight loss, and fear of sweating. Regardless of whether you choose traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for treatment of hyperthyroidism, you need to go to a regular professional hospital. Never blindly undergo treatment. Patients with hyperthyroidism must drink plenty of water, pay attention to rest, and maintain good living habits.

What causes hyperthyroidism?

1. Genetic factors: Hyperthyroidism has a clear familial inheritance. Children whose mothers have hyperthyroidism are more susceptible to the pathogens of hyperthyroidism than those of other children. In addition, the incidence of hyperthyroidism is also high in patients with a family history of hyperthyroidism. This is also a cause of hyperthyroidism.

2. Unoptimistic mentality: Because negative emotions can affect appetite and sleep at the very least, and can even affect immune function and physical health at the worst. Therefore, a good outlook on life is a good medicine for preventing hyperthyroidism. We should maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude towards the things around us, not get stuck in a rut in the face of setbacks and failures, and face life with a normal mind of "staying calm in the face of changes."

3. Autoimmune function: Due to the dysfunction of the body's immune system, thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibodies targeting the body's own thyroid components may be produced. After binding to the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor, this antibody can stimulate and excite the thyroid gland, causing hyperthyroidism of thyroid tissue and function.

4. Energy stimulation: It is one of the most common causes of hyperthyroidism. Generally speaking, strong and sudden mental stimulation is likely to cause hyperthyroidism. Therefore, everyone should pay more attention to controlling their emotions in daily life and actively avoid the causes of hyperthyroidism.

5. Too much pressure: Dedicated working women are prone to high metabolic symptoms of excessive thyroid hormone secretion when they are under great work and life pressure, mental stimulation and other inducements.

Early symptoms of hyperthyroidism

1. Trembling when holding things

If the hand tremors are not caused by age, they are most likely a symptom of hyperthyroidism. We all know that hand tremors are more common in the elderly, but if this happens in young people, it is often closely related to hyperthyroidism and needs to be examined and treated early.

2. Panic and shortness of breath

Palpitations, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, feeling very tired after climbing stairs or walking for a while may also be symptoms of hyperthyroidism and a systematic examination is needed to rule out the occurrence of the disease.

3. Sudden weight loss

If a person suddenly loses a lot of weight within a short period of time, you should be alert to the occurrence of hyperthyroidism. Don't be secretly happy just because you have lost weight, as this may be one of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

4. Increased appetite

The appetite increases, but you feel not full. You eat a lot but are still very thin. No matter how much beans you eat, you still feel full. This is because the body functions of patients with hyperthyroidism are very excited and digestion is very fast, so they will have symptoms of increased appetite but still being thin.

5. Eyeballs become very prominent

The eyeballs of patients with hyperthyroidism will protrude much more than those of ordinary people, which is very obvious when viewed from the side. This is easy to detect. You can ask a friend to take a look at the condition of your eyeballs.
