Hyperthyroidism is a non-infectious metabolic disease that is not contagious, and common symptoms include a hypermetabolic state, localized goiter, and thyroid eye signs.
Hyperthyroidism, short for hyperthyroidism, is an endocrine disease in which the thyroid gland synthesizes and releases excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, causing an increase in the excitability of the body’s sympathetic nervous system and hypermetabolism. When the level of thyroid hormone is too high, hypermetabolism can appear, followed by tachycardia, weight loss, fatigue, hyper appetite, insomnia, irritability, diarrhea and other symptoms.
Because the thyroid function is in a state of hyperfunction as well as congestion, coupled with an increase in the size of the thyroid gland’s own follicles, it can cause an increase in the size of the thyroid gland, which may be observed on visual examination with obvious swelling and enlargement of both sides of the laryngeal nodes. Hyperthyroidism can also cause protruding eyes, retraction of the upper eyelids, spasm of the upper eyelids, which can reveal the whites of the eyes; it can also cause widening of the eye lobes, or even inability of the eyes to close completely.
Hyperthyroidism is generally not contagious because it is a systemic metabolic disease, not an infectious disease. Hyperthyroidism is a clinical syndrome induced by hypersecretion of the thyroid gland, an endocrine gland, although thyroid hormones are not contagious as they are not transmitted to others through saliva and body fluids.
The causes of hyperthyroidism include genetic factors, such as bacterial infections, sex hormones, stress, iodine intake, mental trauma and many other factors. In addition, strong mental stimulation or mental trauma may lead to abnormal thyroid function and induce hyperthyroidism, while the causes of hyperthyroidism, there is no infectious factor.
In addition, hyperthyroidism has a certain degree of danger, it is recommended that after diagnosis, patients need to actively seek treatment under the guidance of specialists.
