What is endocrine disorder]
The human body has an endocrine system, which secretes various hormones and regulates the metabolism and physiological functions of the body together with the nervous system. Under normal circumstances, various hormones are in balance, but if this balance is disrupted for some reason (too much or too little of a certain hormone), it causes endocrine disorders, which will lead to the corresponding clinical manifestations. Endocrine disorders can occur in both men and women.
Causes of endocrine disorders]
Physiological factors: The endocrine gland hormones in the human body can keep the physiology in balance, but these growth regulators are generally out of balance with age, which is why the younger we are, the less endocrine becomes a troubling topic, but as we grow older, we need to give it more attention. In some people, endocrine disorders come from genetics.
Nutritional factors: The body must have enough and proper nutrition to maintain normal physiological functions, otherwise, endocrine and other problems will appear one by one.
Emotional factors: Psychology is also an important reason. We have to bear the pressure from all sides, which kind of pressure need to fight 12 points to deal with, it is difficult to completely relax. This state of tension and emotional changes reflected to the nervous system, will cause hormone secretion disorders, which is commonly known as endocrine disorders.
Environmental factors: Serious environmental pollution is responsible for endocrine disorders in women. Some chemical substances in the air, after entering the human body through various channels, lead to endocrine disorders through a series of chemical reactions, causing women to have menstrual disorders, endometrial hyperplasia and many other problems.
Endocrine disorder symptoms in women]
The female endocrine disorder we often talk about will generally have the following symptoms.
1, skin deterioration: on the sudden appearance of a lot of yellow spots, spots, wipe a lot of cosmetics also did not help, in fact, this is not just a single skin problem, these spots are also endocrine instability and then by external factors caused by adverse stimulation.
2, impatient temper: menopausal women often have some impatient temper, emotional changes, sweating, bad temper, etc., which may be caused by the decline of female endocrine function.
3, gynecological diseases: gynecological endocrine diseases are very common, endometriosis, irregular menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, etc. are gynecological endocrine diseases, and some breast diseases are also related to endocrine disorders.
4, obesity “drink cold water are long meat”, many people often send such a lament. According to the endocrinologist, this may be related to my endocrine disorder, high-calorie, high-fat food, do not pay attention to dietary balance and other dietary habits will also have an impact on endocrine.
5, infertility Some women have been married for many years, have a normal sex life, but no hope of pregnancy. When they go to the hospital for examination, the doctor tells them to adjust the endocrine first. The reason for this is that endocrine disorders make the cerebral cortex not regulate endocrine; or the endometrium is damaged and not responsive to female hormones, which reflexively affects the regulation of endocrine and reduces the chance of successful conception.
6, breast: the main reason for breast swelling and pain and breast enlargement is endocrine disorders. The more important role of the breast is to promote its growth and development through the secretion of estrogen, so once the endocrine imbalance and disorder, it is easy to form breast hyperplasia and breast cancer.
7, body hair: No matter men or women, the endocrine system in the body will produce and release androgens and estrogens at the same time, the difference is that men have more androgens and women have less androgens, so that they can produce their own characteristics. But when the body’s endocrine disorders, women androgen secretion too much, there may be symptoms of hairy.
8, gray hair: premature aging: premature gray hair may also be an endocrine problem. In addition, endocrine disorders, especially the reduction of sex hormone secretion, is an important cause of human aging.
The role of Chinese medicine in the regulation of endocrine disorders
Endocrine disorders represent the unstable state of hormones, and Chinese and Western medicine also give different prescriptions on how to prevent endocrine disorders. We should develop good eating habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods, drink more water to replenish the body’s water needs, and participate in various sports and exercises to strengthen our physical fitness, as well as have a scientific lifestyle and do not stay up late to avoid disrupting the normal physiological rules and causing hormonal imbalance or even deficiency, which may lead to other diseases. In addition, to ensure that attention to rest, sufficient sleep.
The treatment of endocrine disorders is mainly based on Chinese herbal medicine, according to each person’s body condition, which type of external evil such as cold, wind, heat and humidity, and different treatment according to actual, deficiency, yin, yang, qi and blood, etc. Chinese herbal medicine can remove metabolic stagnation in the body, balance female Chinese herbal medicine can clear metabolic stagnation in the body, balance qi and blood, and restore the normal operation of the endocrine system, generally by regulating qi and blood, removing blood stasis and dispersing nodules.
The effect of endocrine disorders on breast enlargement]
In recent years, breast enlargement has become the main killer of urban women. Once suffering from breast hyperplasia, in addition to pain and lumps, patients must be emotionally irritable, irritable, fearful, etc. Physiologically, there is a decline in function, such as indifference to sexual desire, menstrual disorders, decreased physical strength, frequent urination, etc. Pathologically, it is mostly accompanied by gynecological (related advice related content) disease, endometriosis, etc.
The essence of mastocytosis is a disorder of the breast structure caused by endocrine disorders in women – that is, an absolute or relative increase in estrogen and an absolute or relative decrease in progesterone – but it is neither a tumor nor an inflammatory disease.
As the hormonal balance in the human body is most important. Many gynecological diseases, such as breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer, are caused in part by endocrine disorders, high estrogen levels and the accumulation of metabolic waste in the body. The human body systems are all about coordination and balance, and there are often many problems when one branch is alone.
Breast care is very important, especially nowadays, white-collar women, life, work pressure, mood is an important factor in the occurrence of breast disease, do a good regular checkup once every six months, is a good way to keep malignant diseases of the breast out of the door. At present, the best breast examination technology is mammography, a non-invasive means of breast examination that can reflect the structure of the entire breast more comprehensively and accurately, with high resolution, regardless of age and body shape. Mammography can observe the effects of various physiological factors (such as the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menstrual conditions and endocrine changes) on the structure of the breast and reliably identify benign lesions and malignant tumors of the breast. This allows for early detection of breast cancer and even detects occult breast cancer that is not clinically palpable.
For postpartum women should be scientific, regular breast massage health care to maintain good blood circulation in the breast, not only to ensure that the baby sufficient nutritious milk, the main thing is the best for the recovery of all aspects of the postpartum. Massage can be done every day from the 5th month of pregnancy to lactation to promote blood circulation and prevent breast disease.
Symptoms of endocrine disorders in men]
1, testicular endocrine abnormal lesions
Primary testicular hypofunction, more common are Kline felter syndrome, radioactive damage, cytotoxic damage, malnutrition, etc.; secondary testicular hypofunction, such as Kallmam’s syndrome, androgen receptor deficiency manifested by male pseudohermaphroditism, etc.
2.Adrenal gland diseases
Addison’s disease (hypoadrenocorticism), Cushing’s syndrome (cortisolism), feminized adrenocortical tumors, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, aldosteronism and other diseases can cause male infertility.
3.Thyroid disease
Severe hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism can affect reproductive function. When hypothyroidism is present, testosterone synthesis is reduced, sperm production is inhibited, and sexual dysfunction occurs. Hyperthyroidism is often accompanied by gynecomastia, hypoactive sexual desire, and impotence.
4.Pituitary gland lesions
In hyperpituitary gland, there may be an increase in libido and change in body shape in the early stage, followed by hypoactive libido, semen abnormalities, impotence, etc., leading to infertility. Hypopituitarism, such as pituitary tumors, inflammation, surgical injury or radiotherapy, can damage the pituitary gland, resulting in hypopituitarism, decreased libido and intercourse ability, testicular atrophy, and impaired sperm production. Pituitary tumors can increase the level of prolactin in the blood, interfere with the secretion of LH and inhibit the spermatogenic function of testes and impotence, thus leading to male infertility.
Methods of endocrine regulation
To regulate endocrine secretion, we should start from diet and exercise, supplemented by medication if necessary; we should develop good dietary habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink more water to replenish the body’s water needs; at the same time, we should participate in various sports and exercises to strengthen our physical fitness; we should also have a scientific lifestyle and not stay up late so as not to disrupt the normal physiological rules, which may cause hormonal imbalance or even deficiency and lead to other diseases. It is also necessary to pay attention to rest and get enough sleep, avoid overwork and excitement, and keep a happy spirit so as not to affect the endocrine system with bad emotions; prevent infections; do not buy plastic products to avoid the harm of environmental hormones.
Patients should seek medical treatment in time, and can use Chinese and Western medicines to regulate.
1.Western medicine
For endocrine disorders, the guiding principle of Western medicine is, of course, to regulate endocrine secretion and bring it back to balance. There are different ways to deal with different causes, symptoms, physical constitution and severity. Usually, for hyperfunction caused by excessive hormone secretion, the principle is to suppress and reduce it, which can be done by surgically removing endocrine tumors or using drugs to suppress hormone secretion and synthesis; for disorders caused by excessive hormone secretion, the principle is to supplement its deficiency, including supplementing physiological doses of hormones, organ transplantation, etc.
2.TCM
In terms of TCM, endocrine disorder is a manifestation of Yin deficiency, which is caused by stagnation of Qi and blood. Stagnation of qi and blood may be caused by stagnation of blood in the body, obstruction of veins and channels, invasion of external toxins into the body, and persistent malodorous dew after childbirth. Many common female diseases are actually caused by endocrine disorders. Therefore, to treat these diseases, we need to start from regulating endocrine secretion, so that the qi and blood can flow smoothly, so that the essence and blood can nourish the whole body and promote blood circulation, and to regulate the whole body from the inside out. According to the principle of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine, more attention should be paid to nourishing Yin for hyperfunctioning people, while for hypofunctioning people, they often show deficiency of both Qi and blood and kidney deficiency, so they are usually given treatment to nourish blood and benefit Qi and nourish kidney to improve the situation.
3.Functional food
Scientists at home and abroad have proven through numerous experiments that women need to supplement estrogen in appropriate amounts after the age of 35, and soy isoflavones have become the best estrogen substitute because they do not have the toxic side effects and dangers (mainly increasing the risk of breast cancer and endometrial cancer) of synthetic estrogen substitutes (such as ethylene estradiol, Vernon, Bemelia, etc.).
Factors that predispose women to endocrine disorders
Many women have faced such problems: chloasma suddenly appears on their good skin, obesity always visits without notice, and lumps and other discomforts appear in certain sensitive parts of the body ……. In fact, these are all the endocrine disorders, which are the regulators of human physiological functions.
After the age of 25, women’s health starts to decline, and many problems that were not encountered before, such as facial melasma, breast lumps, uterine fibroids and other problems appear one after another, and these are all diseases caused by endocrine disorders. With the arrival of hot summer, human metabolism is accelerated and water and nutrition consumption in the body is increased, which, together with the heat and difficulty in sleeping, makes it easier to cause endocrine disorders in women.
Endocrine is the regulator of human physiological functions, and it works in the body by secreting hormones. For example, during a woman’s period, progesterone increases while estrogen decreases accordingly. However, if for some reasons the endocrine glands secrete too much or too little hormones and the metabolism is disturbed, endocrine disorders will result and endocrine diseases will occur. These diseases not only damage women’s beauty, but also their physical and psychological health. Women are more sensitive, emotionally unstable, and prone to depression, impatience, and excessive thinking, all of which tend to disrupt the flow of Qi and blood, which is probably the reason why women are prone to endocrine disorders.
Endocrine disorders represent the unstable state of hormones. To regulate endocrine secretion, we should mainly start from diet and exercise, supplemented by health food if necessary, and develop good eating habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and high-protein foods, drink more water to replenish the body’s water needs, and participate in various sports to strengthen physical fitness. In addition, it is important to pay attention to rest and get enough sleep.
In addition, women, because of their special physiological and psychological characteristics, will also have unique emotional performance, good or bad emotions directly affect the secretion of human hormones. They are more susceptible to the influence of the external environment, often appear anxiety, anger, depression and other bad emotions, so they should take the initiative to regulate their emotions and maintain a good mental state. Especially during special days such as menstruation and pregnancy, they should pay more attention to timely regulation of their bad moods.
Can endocrine disorders be prevented]
The etiology of endocrine diseases is complicated, and according to our current knowledge, the etiology of some diseases is clear, while some are still unclear. For those who have known the causes, it is possible to avoid these diseases if they can do a good job of prevention. For example, endemic goiter, the main cause of which is iodine deficiency in the diet, can be greatly reduced with iodine supplementation. Schistosomiasis can be prevented, and the dwarfism caused by schistosomiasis can be greatly reduced. The Silhan syndrome is mostly caused by postpartum hemorrhage. If we do a good job of maternal and infant health care and reduce the hemorrhage caused by obstructed labor, we can effectively prevent Silhan syndrome. It has been proved that in cities with good medical conditions, the occurrence of Silhan syndrome is rare. A part of hyperalgesia is caused by adrenal tuberculosis, and the prevention of tuberculosis can prevent the destruction of the adrenal glands. A part of hyperthyroidism patients have long-term trauma and strong mental stimulation before the onset of the disease, such as stress, panic, worry, grief and anger. The onset of hyperthyroidism increased in Denmark and the Soviet Union during World War II. Therefore, social stability, relaxation, happy life and family harmony can also prevent the occurrence of hyperthyroidism.
Four major sins against endocrine disorders
Endocrine disorders can cause various uncomfortable changes in the human organism and can lead to many diseases.
In fact, this is not just a single skin problem, these spots are also caused by the unstable endocrine secretion and then stimulated by external factors.
2.Sin 2: Impatient temper Menopausal women often have some impatient temper, large emotional changes, sweating, bad temper, etc., which may be caused by the decline of female endocrine function.
3.Sin three gynecological diseases Gynecological endocrine diseases are very common, infertility, endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, irregular menstruation, etc. are gynecological endocrine diseases, and some breast diseases are also related to endocrine disorders, and some facial pigmentation is also caused by gynecological diseases.
4, sin four obesity “drink cold water are long meat”, many people often send such a lament. According to the endocrinologist, this may be related to my endocrine disorder, high-calorie, high-fat food, do not pay attention to dietary balance and other dietary habits will also have an impact on endocrine.
[The dangers of endocrine disorders]
Many women have to face such problems: chloasma suddenly appears on their good skin, obesity always visits without notice, and lumps and other discomforts appear in some sensitive parts of the body, which are actually the regulators of human physiological functions – endocrine. As the weather turns warmer and hotter in spring, the body’s metabolism is accelerated and the consumption of water and nutrients in the body increases, which makes it easier for women to suffer from endocrine disorders. Let’s do it early to stay away from endocrine disorders and have a healthy and beautiful season.
Endocrine disorders may lead to breast enlargement
Endocrine for women, like a magic wand in the hands of a wizard, it can gather the user’s spiritual power, thus surprisingly winning.
When it is mingled, women are like a hibiscus; when it makes waves, women are like wilted roses.
Young, beautiful, slim, firm, everything a woman desires seems to be inseparable from it, it can rule how much food the cells should burn to break down, and then release how much energy, it can also determine the cells to produce milk, hair, secretions or other metabolism, etc..
Modern women are often susceptible to external evil such as wind, cold, heat, humidity and heat due to their own special physiological processes such as menstruation, band, fetus and childbirth, and the dual pressure of work and family in their daily lives. Menstrual disorders, gynecological diseases, chloasma, insomnia, etc., will encounter a lot of physical troubles in their lives are related to endocrine!
Magic wand strike: mastopathy
The essence of mastocytosis is a disorder of the breast structure caused by female endocrine disorder – that is, an absolute or relative increase in estrogen and an absolute or relative decrease in progesterone – but it is neither a tumor nor an inflammatory disease.
Hormonal balance in the human body is most important. Many gynecological diseases, such as breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer, are caused in part by endocrine disorders, high estrogen levels and the accumulation of metabolic waste in the body. The various systems of the human body are about coordination, and when one is alone, something often goes wrong.
Breast care is very important, especially nowadays, white-collar women, life, work pressure, mood is an important factor in the occurrence of breast disease, do a good regular checkup once every six months, is a good way to keep malignant diseases of the breast out of the door. At present, the best breast examination technology is mammography, a non-invasive means of breast examination, which can reflect the structure of the whole breast more comprehensively and accurately, with high resolution, regardless of age and body shape. Mammography can observe the effects of various physiological factors (such as the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, breastfeeding, menstrual conditions and endocrine changes) on the structure of the breast and reliably identify benign lesions and malignant tumors of the breast. This allows for early detection of breast cancer and even the ability to detect occult breast cancer that is not clinically palpable.
