Answer 1

Hyperhidrosis: If not due to medicine or hormone changes, it could be due to hyperhidrosis. Manualized cognitive behavior psychotherapy can be instrumental. Excessive sweating can also be treated by anticholinergic agents, benzodiazepines, or Buspirone (many of these used by anxiety). Very rarely regional sympathectomy is performed if no benefit from the aforementioned.

Answer 2

Sweating out toxins: Fyi: admittedly, hyperhidrosis can really be a drag. On the other hand, it is better to sweat "too much" than "not enough, " because sweating (because it allows for the excretion of lipophilic, i.e., fat-loving, toxins) is one of the best ways to rid the body of toxins (detoxify). In addition to the skin, other organs of excretion include the gastrointestinal system, the kidneys, and the lungs.

Body's thermostat: It is a butterfly shaped gland in the lower neck that controls your body's metabolism.

Answer 4

Thyroid Gland: The thyroid gland sits low on the front of the neck. It helps to control metabolism and also the way other glands might respond to other hormones. In infants and toddlers it is also vital for brain development and helps to mediate growth and puberty throughout childhood.

Answer 5

Thyroid System: Your thyroid is an organ that is part of the endocrine system that involves the pituitary, adrenals, pancreas and ovaries (women) or testicles (men). Your thyroid does not operate in isolation. All members of the endocrine system need to work in harmony for your overall health. Your thyroid needs adequate tyrosine, iodine, magnesium, zinc and glutathione to manufacture you thyroid hormones.

Answer 6

Sorry, please repost: I'm sorry but i can't make any sense of your question "at our thyroid?" your topic tag "antithyroid medication" suggests that you might have hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid, in which case you have two options, medications and/or surgery, depending upon cause & chronicity. If it's just temporary due to inflammation, eg thyroiditis, it should resolve on its own. Check w/your endocrinologis.

Answer 9

An endocrine gland: Hi. The thyroid is an endocrine gland. It makes thyroid hormone (l-thyroxine and triiodothyronine), which circulate via the bloodstream to "target tissues", tissues that express thyroid hormone receptors, where thyroid hormone binds to the receptors and regulates expression of specific genes in the target tissues, and thereby helps regulate their function. Many tissues are thyroid target tissues.

Answer 10

Thyroid enlargement: A large thyroid is a problem that should be investigated. A sonogram or cat scan may be needed to determine the cause of the problem. Although thyroid enlargement is often benign, it may be a sign of a more serious problem such as cancer. If nodules are present, a biopsy may be needed.

Answer 11

Large thyroid: An enlarged thyroid usually represents an inflammatory response to infection, pregnancy, exogenous iodine ingestion or hypothyroidism. Additionally, this could be a nodular goiter which is usually benign. Occasionally a large thyroid could represent a malignancy. In any case, a goiter should be evaluated by the skillful hands of an endocrinologist as well as with a thyroid ultrasound.

Answer 12

No: If it is radiation to the thyroid, it never becomes normal and need to have life long thyroid supplementation.

Answer 13

YES: However, that's not usually the desired result. Hyperthyroid patients who receive radioiodine treatment are best off if the gland stops working for a couple of reasons: 1) grave's disease could relapse. 2) exposure to radioactive iodine increases your risk for later developing thyroid cancer as long as your gland is active.

Answer 14

Levels: Checking thyroid levels and a thyroid specific protein product called thyroglobulin can give you an idea.

Answer 15

Clinical history: it depends upon the clinical condition. If hypothyroidism is because of Hashimoto disease, in most cases hypothyroidism is permanent. If hypothyroidism is because of inflammatory condition called thyroiditis, in those situations hypothyroidism can be temporary

Answer 16

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