Most people say that when the temperature is cool, some people sweat more; most people wear short sleeves when working. Some people have been wrapped in blankets… Some people are regarded as aliens because they are particularly afraid of cold or heat. There is a physical factor, but it may also be a problem with thyroid function.

May 25 to May 31 is the 14th International Thyroid Knowledge Awareness Week, with the theme of ” Take care of the thyroid and care for women’s health.” On the morning of May 30, Bozhou People’s Hospital and Bozhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital held a thyroid knowledge publicity week publicity and free clinic, providing free consultation for patients.

It is understood that the most common diseases caused by abnormal thyroid function are hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Among them, due to poor blood circulation and insufficient energy production, patients with hypothyroidism will have abnormal symptoms such as fear of cold, no sweat, low body temperature, and puffiness. Hyperthyroidism will increase the excitability of the body’s nerves, circulation, digestion and other systems, and hypermetabolism, resulting in symptoms such as heat intolerance, sweating, palpitations, weight loss, increased appetite, insomnia, and increased stool frequency.

Zhou Yusen, chief physician of the Endocrinology Department of the Municipal People’s Hospital, introduced that the prevalence of hypothyroidism increases with age, and women The prevalence is 8-10 times higher than that of men. In addition, the symptoms of thyroid disease in the early stage are relatively hidden. For example, patients with hyperthyroidism will have symptoms such as diarrhea and palpitations, which often mislead patients into thinking that they have enteritis or heart disease, leading to misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

In life, if someone is more afraid of cold or heat than others, often feels fatigued, etc., you must find it as soon as possible. Endocrinology experts seek help and receive treatment as soon as possible, so that the disease can be ideally controlled.
