In fact, every disease has a certain reason, but the thyroid gland, as one of the endocrine organs of traditional Chinese medicine, is influenced by diet, living habits, emotions and other aspects. So the cause of the disease is different. Among them, hypothyroidism has attracted more and more attention because of its high incidence, difficult treatment and no pregnancy.

Thyroid secretion contains a lot of growth hormone, which can promote the physical and intellectual development of infants. Infants with hypothyroidism will have stunted growth, stunted height and skeletal development, resulting in short stature; Intellectual development is also affected, leading to mental retardation, which will become more obvious with age. Therefore, untreated hypothyroidism will affect a child's life.

Many patients have insufficient thyroid hormone, and the myocardial contraction function is weakened, which leads to a decrease in cardiac output, which leads to a decrease in heart rate. When the thyroid hormone in blood and cells decreases, it can affect the excitability of the brain, and at the same time, the muscles can not get continuous stimulation signals. At this time, people often feel tired, listless and always want to sleep.

The digestive system is also affected by thyroid hormones. When this element is reduced, it will lead to insufficient gastrointestinal motility and decreased intestinal peristalsis. Coupled with daily sedentary, insufficient cellulose intake, it is easy to cause constipation.

Hypothyroidism is an endocrine problem, and endocrine is inextricably linked with our emotions. Chinese medicine also believes that if you are often depressed, it will lead to spleen deficiency and abnormal body operation.

Due to improper diet, spleen and stomach damage, insufficient middle qi and abnormal transport and transformation, Shui Gu can not transport and transform, and phlegm is endogenous; Phlegm-dampness hinders qi movement and damages spleen yang. Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, spleen yang is weak, and kidney fire nourishes for a long time, resulting in deficiency of both spleen and kidney, and symptoms such as loss of appetite, chills, lethargy, laziness, and systemic edema.

Hypothyroidism can cause systemic symptoms. Common symptoms include fatigue, fear of cold, weight gain, unresponsiveness, lethargy, depression and constipation. Hypothyroidism often affects the muscles and joints of human body, leading to muscle weakness, temporary myotonia, spasm, pain and so on.

Cardiovascular symptoms are also common, such as bradycardia, pericardial effusion and decreased cardiac output. The main manifestations of blood system are anemia, anorexia, abdominal distension and constipation, which are common in digestive system, and paralytic intestinal obstruction can occur in severe cases.

Congenital defect of thyroid gland, which itself is undeveloped or hypoplastic, leads to the lack of enzymes to synthesize thyroid hormone in human body, which makes the synthesis of thyroid hormone disorder. So that thyroid hormone can't reach the standard needed by human body, which leads to hypothyroidism.

Adolescence is a critical period for physical development and sexual maturity. If you suffer from hypothyroidism, your physical development will definitely be affected, resulting in short stature and decreased intelligence and academic performance.

When thyroid hormone is decreased, women may have irregular menstruation, such as menorrhagia and amenorrhea. For men, the reduction of thyroid hormone will cause sexual dysfunction and even impotence.

Hypothyroidism can also make people depressed and even have depressive symptoms, but most of them are affected by staged emotions and do not affect normal life and activities; Depression is different. Most people will refuse normal life and communication because of depression, and even suffer from insomnia, hallucinations and even self-harm.
