What are the dangers of hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism is a common and highly prevalent disease in our lives. Men are the main group of patients. Due to their high work pressure, extremely irregular diet, etc., many men do not know that the harm of male hyperthyroidism is actually very great. Once the disease occurs, you must not delay and seek medical treatment in time. You cannot take medicine casually. You must pay enough attention to the harm of hyperthyroidism.

The dangers of hyperthyroidism

According to experts, hyperthyroidism is one of the most common and frequent diseases in daily life. Patients with hyperthyroidism usually show symptoms of weight loss and irritability, and these symptoms are often considered to be normal immunity decline, which can be cured by supplementation. In fact, these symptoms are not the attack of hyperthyroidism. So, what are the hazards of hyperthyroidism? The occurrence of hyperthyroidism will bring the following hazards to people:

The first harm of hyperthyroidism: sexual dysfunction. About 70% of male hyperthyroidism patients experience decreased libido or impotence; 75% of female patients experience menstrual disorders or amenorrhea.

The second hazard of hyperthyroidism: renal tubular acidosis. This is a more serious hazard of hyperthyroidism. Since hyperthyroidism is an autoimmune disease, the site of its autoimmune lesions is not limited to the thyroid gland, but also occurs in the renal tubules. Therefore, the lesions of the renal tubules lead to dysfunction of the renal tubules in acidifying urine, that is, acidic substances cannot be secreted from the renal tubules and excreted with urine, so they accumulate in the blood and cause acidosis.

Other hazards of hyperthyroidism: Patients with poorly controlled hyperthyroidism will have a negative balance in protein and calcium-phosphorus metabolism, which will lead to osteoporosis. Some patients with hyperthyroidism complain of bone pain and back pain. Lumbar spine X-rays show compression fractures, and fractures are more likely to occur after falls. Patients with poorly controlled long-term hyperthyroidism will have various organs affected, functional failure, malnutrition, and are prone to infection. Under the influence of external factors (infection, fatigue, various stresses), hyperthyroidism crisis will occur, manifested as high fever, diarrhea, delirium and even coma. Patients with heart failure, shock and jaundice have a poor prognosis and a high mortality rate.

Therefore, through the introduction and understanding of the hazards of male hyperthyroidism in the article, I believe that the majority of male hyperthyroidism patients should understand that their disease is not as simple as they imagined, so they should see a doctor when they are sick. We are not professional doctors. The above-mentioned hyperthyroidism hazards can easily happen to men because of their own negligence and carelessness, which will cause great pain.
