Hypothyroidism treatment with folk remedies

Hypothyroidism is a disease that develops due to insufficient function of the thyroid gland, resulting in a deficiency of thyroid hormones in the body, which affects all organs and systems of the body. Patients are concerned about the puffiness of the face, poor appetite, skin peeling, brittle hair, constipation, mental retardation and physical development( in children), memory loss, attention, cardiovascular disorders, etc.

is classified for primary and secondary causes. More about the symptoms, see here.

Hypothyroidism of is observed relatively often - in approximately 2-3% of the total population, it is caused by a decrease in the content of circulating blood of one or both thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism can be associated with a primary lesion of the thyroid gland itself( primary hypothyroidism), a violation of the regulation of its function by the hypothalamic-pituitary system( tertiary and secondary hypothyroidism), as well as disruption of transport, metabolism and hormone action( peripheral).In the vast majority of cases( 90-95%), hypothyroidism is caused by a pathological process in the thyroid gland, which violates the production of hormones( primary hypothyroidism).

Determination of cT4 and TSH in serum is the best combination of tests for the diagnosis of hypothyroidism. In hypothyroidism, the basal level of TSH is elevated due to primary thyroid damage( primary hypothyroidism) and decreased with primary pituitary insufficiency( secondary, central hypothyroidism) or hypothalamus( tertiary, central hypothalamic hypothyroidism) in which thyroid dysfunction is secondary.

A characteristic feature of secondary hypothyroidism is a low concentration in blood of TSH against the background of reduced concentrations of sT4, T4, T3.With tertiary hypothyroidism, concentrations of TSH, cT4, T4, and T3 in the blood are also reduced. The blood content of TRH in tertiary hypothyroidism, in contrast to the secondary, is reduced.

Increase in the concentration of TSH against the background of the normal content of thyroid hormones( cT3, cT4) in the blood is called subclinical hypothyroidism. There are 3 degrees( stages) of development of subclinical hypothyroidism.

1. Congenital malformations of the thyroid gland.

2. Chronic infections.

3. Operations on the thyroid gland.

4. Lack of iodine in the environment.

5. Pituitary tumors.

6. Overdose of Mercazolil.

Most often, primary hypothyroidism is observed in women and is characterized by a decrease in memory, drowsiness, weakness and lethargy, swelling of the face, hands and feet. And also joint pain, hoarseness of voice, hair loss and constipation.

It is based on the examination of the patient and the analysis of complaints. And also on the data of hormonal analysis of blood, reflexometry and a test with tiroliberin.

Thyroid hormone replacement therapy is required. The dose is selected individually by the attending physician.

With timely replacement therapy, the prognosis for life is favorable.
