Thyroid disease is very common. Especially in women. Almost every 3-4 women have less or more severe thyroid problems. Therefore, it is important to know the sources leading to diseases and simple ways of real help for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, AIT and tactics for gland nodes.
REASONS for thyroid diseases are in the state of the environment, daily behavior and diseases of other organs and systems of the body.

REASONS for Hyperthyroidism (Thyrotoxicosis, DTZ, Graves-Bazedov disease)
Severe mental stress. Significant shock. The death of loved ones, lawsuits, fear of a dangerous situation and similar circumstances can cause hyperthyroidism and the development of thyrotoxicosis (manifestations of an excess of thyroid hormones).
Diseases of the ENT organs. An acute inflammatory disease of the structures of the oropharynx and middle ear can provoke hyperthyroidism - an overstrain of the thyroid gland and overproduction of its hormones. Very strong sore throats with a high temperature, flu with catarrhal phenomena, etc., occurring with a high temperature (more than 38-38.5 gr.) Can lead to hyperthyroidism.
Excessive intake of iodine. When using drugs that include iodine, hyperthyroidism can contribute.
A lot of hard work done in a short time (physical or mental). If necessary, in a short period of time to carry out a large amount of work and the presence of circumstances forcing people to work with a high degree of responsibility, this is the way leading to overstrain of the thyroid gland. After all, the thyroid gland provides the activity of all other organs.

Causes of Hypothyroidism, Nodules, and Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Iodine deficiency. The most famous reason, but not the most common. Not all people living in the region with a slight lack of iodine get sick, because other living conditions are important, etc.
Cold. Living in a region with a cold climate and generally - the winter period favors the depletion of the thyroid gland.
Pregnancy. The state of physiological overload of the body and excess spending of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). In the case of a weak thyroid gland or a significant consumption of its hormones, increased hormone consumption with an increase in TSH can develop during pregnancy, according to the results of a blood test.
Anemia. Deficiency of hemoglobin and / or red blood cells (i.e. anemia) leads to a lack of oxygen to tissues of different organs. Since oxygen acts in conjunction with thyroid hormones, with oxygen deficiency, thyroid depletion may develop with signs of hypothyroidism.
Falling asleep later. During sleep, the body rests and spends less thyroid hormones. Especially full rest in the form of sleep until 24.00. every hour of sleep until midnight is more beneficial than any other hour of sleep later. Daily late going to bed - harmful to the gland. The ideal time to fall asleep is 22.00.
Oxygen deficiency. Being in poorly ventilated areas is a source of overstrain and thyroid disease.
Intense mental and physical activity. Adaptation-re-adaptation overloads. Frequent trips. Especially over long distances. Change of time zones. Adaptation to the regimen of the day and other nutrition - all this is an overload for the thyroid gland.
Symptoms of Hypothyroidism
- weakness, fatigue,
- dry skin,
-Increased appetite, and then change it,
- memory impairment,
- Sleep disturbance (difficult to fall asleep or waking up at night),
- discomfort in the neck,
- Swelling and pastiness with a significant deficiency of thyroid hormones,
- irritability,
- Drowsiness, not a desire to work, Apathy,
- Chilliness.
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
- muscle weakness,
- Excitability,
- The feeling of heat, the desire to dress "easier" in the winter and the desire for coolness,
- trembling hands
- Palpitations and chest discomfort,
- Perhaps a decrease in body weight.
Diagnosis of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
Blood Test Movie
1) Blood test for indicators: TTG, T4sv., T3sv., T4total, T3total, AT-TPO, AT-TG (additionally, AT-rTTG for hyperthyroidism),
2) Ultrasound of the thyroid gland. Assess the volume, structure of the tissue, the amount of full tissue, the intensity and peak velocity of blood flow in lobes on the right and left.
3) Assessment of symptoms
4) The study of medical history.
Therapeutic conditions for hypothyroidism
Timely falling asleep, In the afternoon lie down 2 times for 15-20 minutes, Warm the hands and feet with pleasantly warm water periodically throughout the day. Eating regularly 4-5 times a day in moderate portions. Vitamins: C, B1, B6, E. Mental comfort. Airing of rooms. Sedative herbs in the form of drops of tinctures or decoctions.
Be sure to contact a competent specialist for professional diagnosis, consultation and treatment appointment. Self-medication is not appropriate.
