what are the symptomps of parathyroid gland problems?

Question

Answer 1

Parathyroid problems: Hi. Too complex for small space. Primary hyperpara (PHPT) is a disease of parathyroids where too much PTH is secreted, which causes high blood calcium, with symptoms/signs of kidney stones, bone fractures, malaise, depression, high blood pressure, and others. Hypoparathy is a disease of parathyroids where they can't secrete enough PTH, with symptoms of numbness, tingling, and muscle twitching.

Answer 2

No: It is not normal for your child to cry whenever they move their neck. They should be examined immediately to rule out a serious condition, such as meningitis.

Answer 3

No: Your baby needs to be seen by your pediatrician. Some babies have torticollis: a condition where the neck muscle is a little short or tense. Physical therapy helps this a lot. It is hard to tell without seeing the baby, so please make an appointment.

Answer 4

Probably not: Many people have joints that make noises, either to the person and occasionally to other people. The most common being someone who cracks their knuckles, or the person whose shoulders make various noises. These are generally benign, but if you start having persisting pain, weakness or numbness, it should be evaluated.

Answer 5

Depends: Is there pain with the crunch ? The crunch alone means little, but pain is your indication something more serious may be going on.

Answer 6

Thymus abnormal: Mg thymus microenvironment is aberrant - unlike the normal thymus, the mg thymus has numerous secondary follicles containing igm- and igd-bearing cells.

Answer 7

Treatment: Agree with dr. Brown. Often, abnormalities found in thymus. Probably more importantly is its role in treatment/possible cure. In appropriate candidates, thymectomy should be performed by a trained thoracic surgeon. This link may assist: http://goo.Gl/3xxmd.

Answer 8

Two fold: 1) patients with myasthenia are more likely than others to develop tumors in their thymuses called thymomas. When found early these tumors can be removed by surgery. 2) in patient with symptoms from myasthenia, even if they don't have a thymoma, they often improve (needing little or no medication) after having their thymus removed.

Answer 9

Well known: Standard contributing factors include chronic smoking, regular/heavy alcohol use, tobacco chewing, poor oral and dental hygiene, betel nut chewing, hpv infection (viral).

Answer 10

Head & Neck Cancer : Many head and neck cancers are due to the presence of the human papilloma virus (hpv), chewing tobacco, excess alcohol use, smoking, and a myriad of poorly understood promoters and carcinogens. A good yearly exam by your dentist and a self awareness for lumps in the neck, white or red patches on the tongue, inner cheek, or palate can detect early lesions well in time for a complete cure.

Answer 11

Throttle: Think of the thyroid gland as the throttle for the speed by which metabolism occurs.
