Through research, it is understood that the recent “hypothyroidism” incidence rate is high, hospitals receive patients every day, and many of them do not know that fat, fatigue, depression, slow heart rate and other symptoms of “hypothyroidism” and delayed diagnosis and treatment of patients. “Hypothyroidism” blame postpartum moodiness! I met a patient a few days ago, Ms. Long has just been a new mother for 2 months, and not only did she not have too much joy as a new mother, but she was depressed all day long and was in tears. Her family thought she had postpartum depression, and she had been seeing a psychiatrist for more than a month with no improvement. Later, on the advice of her psychiatrist, Ms. Long found me in the hospital. After examination, she was found to have “hypothyroidism”. One of the symptoms of hypothyroidism is depression and low mood, in addition to fatigue and swelling, etc. Both her family and Ms. Long thought that these were normal reactions after giving birth. There are many women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy or postpartum, often due to perinatal autoimmune reasons, resulting in changes in thyroid hormone secretion. “Hypothyroidism is associated with an increase in miscarriage and late-gestation fetal mortality, as well as a decrease in neonatal IQ. Stress and dietary changes can be triggering factors. According to a survey, “the total prevalence of thyroid disorders is nearly 20%”, while the treatment rate of thyroid disorders in China is less than 2%. Hypothyroidism is more common than hyperthyroidism, and it is a common clinical endocrine disease characterized by reduced metabolic rate due to decreased synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones or insufficient biological effects in the body caused by a variety of reasons. In addition to the congenital deficiency that leads to the impaired synthesis of thyroid hormones, acquired causes include iodine deficiency, excessive iodine supplementation, diet, mental and other aspects. Some doctors have found that some people, because of the change in economic conditions, have suddenly changed their diet from the original frugal diet to a high-protein, high-fat diet such as shark’s fin and abalone twice a day, and there are many such patients in the clinic. In addition, because “hypothyroidism” belongs to the endocrine system diseases, and mental factors have a greater relationship, long-term high pressure, high tension can also become triggering factors.
