Thyroid is the Leading Cause of These Common Medical Conditions
The small butterfly shaped gland located at the base of your neck is thyroid. It forms part of the intricate network of glands also known as the endocrine system. The endocrine system is responsible for coordinating many of our body’s activities. The thyroid gland produces the hormone that regulates the body’s metabolism.
But when these hormones are produced in large or less quantity, they can give rise to other medical conditions. Located in Dubai, Cancer Care Specialties is the best thyroid center in UAE that has a team of highly qualified board certified thyroid doctors who conduct thyroid and parathyroid surgeries using advanced technology to help patients lead a healthy life.
Below are mentioned the common medical conditions that are caused by thyroid:
Depression – Inadequate levels of thyroid hormones T4 and T3 often results in bad mood and mental wellness. Yes, the thyroid can be the leading cause of depression in the thyroid patients. Moreover, sometimes the patients fail to respond to antidepressants or have severe side effects, so they have to discontinue its use. If you have both hypothyroidism and depression, take thyroid-replacement medications as they boost the levels of triiodothyronine and thyroxin.
Obesity – Are you tired of following healthy diets and rigorous exercise and still did not attain the goal of losing that extra weight? Well, hypothyroidism doesn’t lead to weight gain. When a person is overweight, everyone blames overeating and not doing any workout. After various attempts to exercise more and eat less, they do lose weight but are not able to keep it long term. Thyroid hormone maintains basal metabolic rate and regulates body weight.
Heart Disease – When the thyroid gland produces too little hormone, it slows down the heart rate, and raises the level of cholesterol. This all leads to the increase in fluid around the heart thus leading to heart failure. Taking medications to provide your body with thyroid hormone may reverse some heart conditions.
Insomnia – Do you feel tired all throughout the day? If you’re a thyroid patient, you might experience fatigue, so get adequate sleep to boost your energy. About 30 percent of people suffering from thyroid also have sleep apnea. It’s the drop in oxygen and the struggle to breathe against a closed airway that disrupts their sleep. Keep your bedroom cool, sleep in a comfy bed to have a good night peaceful sleep.
Thyroid can also be the leading cause of headaches, migraines, infertility and low libido. These medical conditions if not taken care of might lead to disturbed life and lifestyle.
