Endocrine glands

Nervous conditions associated with glands. There are several diseases of endocrine glands, and there are hormonal drugs that act on the human body. For example, if the thyroid gland does not release enough hormones, the child's physical and mental development slows down significantly. Such a child is slow, he has dry skin, brittle hair and a low voice. His face may seem swollen( unsatisfactory thyroid gland does not cause obesity).The speed of the basic metabolism, that is, the speed with which the organism absorbs nutrients at rest, is reduced in such a child. Adopting the right dose of the thyroid drug leads to a striking improvement.

Some people, after reading the popular articles on the glands of internal secretion, believe that every short person or slow learner, every nervous girl or a full boy with small genitals is not okay with these glands and that they can be cured by taking the right pills. Modern scientific knowledge does not give rise to such enthusiasm. Disease of the glands of internal secretion is determined not by one symptom.

In many cases, if a boy is overweight in years before puberty, his penis seems small simply because his full thighs look relatively large, and because the thick layer of fat in the base of the penis hides three-quarters of its length. Most boys develop normally during puberty, and many of them lose weight at this time. Of course, every child who grows and develops differently from the majority who seems weak-minded or unnecessarily nervous, or in general in some respects out of the general range, should be examined by an experienced doctor. But if the doctor decides that the physique of a child is a consequence of his innate constitution or that his mental or emotional state is related to the troubles of his present life, then he does not need a search for a magic remedy, but a help in adapting to life.
