Early symptoms of Specimen's disease

Hashimoto's disease is Hashimoto's disease, a disease discovered in modern times. It is highly hidden and can have a certain impact on people's health. The course of the disease is similar to other diseases. Therefore, it is difficult to diagnose it clearly in clinical practice. Let’s take a look at the early symptoms of Specimen’s disease. Those who are interested can learn about it and find the correct solution.

Hashimoto's thyroid disease is an autoimmune thyroiditis, in which a large number of lymphocytes can be seen in the pathology. It is also called chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis. The disease was discovered by Japanese Saku Hashimoto in 1912, so it was named after him, Hashimoto's thyroid disease, or Hashimoto's disease for short. Because patients with Hashimoto's thyroid disease have a goiter in the front of the neck, it is often called Hashimoto's goiter clinically.

1. What are the symptoms of Hashimoto's disease?

Patients often experience general fatigue, some patients have discomfort in the throat, a small number of patients have local pressure or dull pain in the thyroid area, and occasionally mild tenderness.

Patients experience weight gain, thinning hair, and some female patients occasionally experience heavy menstrual flow or irregular menstruation. Male patients often experience symptoms such as impotence and decreased sexual ability.

Patients are prone to constipation, some suffer from chills, and often have joint pain.

Health Tips

Hashimoto's disease may seem harmless in the early stages, but if left unchecked, it will damage the thyroid gland again and again, and may even develop into Hashimoto's hyperthyroidism and finally into Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, which will require lifelong medication to control.

2. How to treat Hashimoto's disease

Currently, the commonly used methods for treating Hashimoto's disease in clinical practice are drug therapy and surgical resection. However, both methods have great disadvantages.

Western medicine treatment

Western medicine can only simply relieve the patient's condition, but cannot cure the disease fundamentally. Long-term medication will bring greater side effects to the liver, and the disease will recur after stopping the medication.

Surgical resection

Thyroid tissue is located in a special part of the human body. The removal process can easily lead to a series of complications and may also cause lifelong hypothyroidism, with a recurrence rate of over 70%.
