Thyroid gland Signs of thyroid disease, treatment

Someone wondered whether your thyroid? What are the symptoms of thyroid disease? And what are all thyroid disease? How to treat them and what health precautions to take?

What is thyroid and what is it for?

The thyroid gland is a small endocrine organ, which refers to the glands of internal secretion.

It is located on the neck under the chin. It is involved in fundamental processes of the human body, releasing into the blood the necessary hormones and regulating metabolic processes.

It is very important that hormones are allocated a certain amount, since if it is allocated more or less will suffer all the organs. And a signal will flow through the nervous system.

Whom not proven, but the fact that the thyroid gland affects more on women than on men. Women are more often failures, and they have rapidly changing mood. All because of women's critical days, they give birth, and at the age they begin menopause. All these processes greatly affect the thyroid.

Its main function is to ensure proper metabolism. It is also responsible for maintaining the immune system. All the hormones it secretes, act in the cortex and is directly connected with the nervous system.

What factors affect it?

Probably, everyone knows that the normal robots the thyroid gland needs a sufficient quantity of such elements as iodine. He participated in the creation of important body hormones. Threat to health provides not only a lack but a glut of iodine. Iodine can act as while eating (foods rich in the trace mineral) during the taking vitamins.

No need to be in range of direct sunlight and constantly visit the Solarium.

Many communicable viral and bacterial diseases can lead to malfunction of this organ. This may occur because of illness, and as a result of taking antibiotics.

Sometimes in the body may experience a crash of the immune system (an autoimmune process). This leads to improper functioning of thyroid gland.

Some children are born with this pathology, this occurs due to improper development of a child.

In the modern world one of the most dangerous diseases is cancer (namely malignancy), this organ is not an exception.
