You can understand that there are problems with the thyroid gland even by external signs.
“Such cases include a significant increase in the volume of the thyroid gland, large sizes of nodes, accompanied by a cosmetic defect in the neck area,” the publication “ Vechernyaya Moskva ” quotes endocrinologist Zair Siyukhov.
But these are not all the signs.
As the doctor noted, there may also be trembling in the hands, and quite pronounced swelling appears on the face during the illness.
In some cases, enlargement of the eyes is observed.
Siyukhov also spoke about a common myth associated with thyroid diseases.
As the doctor noted, many people think that the problem only affects women.
Representatives of the stronger sex ignore symptoms and do not undergo examinations. This is a big mistake.
The fact is that not only women but also men can suffer from this problem. It is important to undergo examinations regardless of gender.
