Somehow it can cause depression in lots of people as well as fatigue and difficulty to concentrate. Some people complain they feel really cold at all the times. Some other is complaining about digestion that all cause by thyroid problem. The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland that wraps around the windpipe just below the Adam’s apple ( ). The thyroid takes dietary iodine from the blood and use it for making iodine contain hormones which its call thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). They thyroid will store this hormones and when body needs them it will release them. One of the most health problems caused by thyroid its thyroid cancer. Cancer is caused by kind of cell disorder, and later on can cause the other health problems. Cancer begins when genes which normally control cell division, growth and repair are damaged through mutation. These genes can cause these cells to grow and divide uncontrollably, and destroying the neighbor healthy cells. People usually don’t understand, disorder of thyroid gland can cause an amazing variety of health problems. Thyroid gland produces hormones which there are really important in human’s body. Healthy Thyroid glands produce just about hormones that body needs for metabolism. But if the gland becomes diseased it can produce too much thyroxine which can cause Hyperthyroidism, in the other hand it can produce too little thyroxine which can cause Hypothyroidism. So one of the disease can cause by thyroid disorder is thyroid carcinoma which its thyroid cancer. Method and Material GENEVA (Reuters) said “Spikes in radiation caused by the Fukushima nuclear disaster were below cancer-causing levels in almost all of Japan, but infants in one town appear to be at a higher risk of developing thyroid cancer. (Stephanie Nebehay). In this situation, one of the most common test should be the TSH test, and checking on the level of thyroid hormone. In this matter thyroid disease affect nearly 20 million people in the united states and are found in both sexes-male and female- but more in women. People who received the x-ray treatment for cancer of the head and neck may eventually become hypothyroid. People with thyroid cancer have many treatment options. Depending on the type and stage, thyroid cancer may be treated with surgery, radioactive iodine, hormone treatment, external radiation, or chemotherapy. Some patients receive a combination of treatments. (medicine.net). one of the common treatments is surgery on thyroid cancer. During the surgery may remove all or part of the thyroid. The type of surgery depends on the type and stage of thyroid cancer, the size of the nodule, and the patient's age. It can be total thyroidectomy or lobotomy. 2 Total thyroidectomy is surgery which they remove the entire thyroid is called a total thyroidectomy which they remove the thyroid through an incision in the neck. Nearby lymph nodes are sometimes removed, too. If the pathologist finds cancer cells in the lymph nodes, it means that the disease could spread to other parts of the body. In a small number of cases, therefore they remove other tissues in the neck that have been affected by the cancer. Some patients who have a total thyroidectomy also receive radioactive iodine or external radiation therapy which it will kill the rest of cancer cell which it might be during surgery spread out to the other part of body. Lobotomy—some patients with papillary or follicular thyroid cancer may be treated with lobotomy which they remove the lobe with the cancerous nodule. Doctor will also remove the part of the remaining thyroid tissue or nearby lymph nodes. Some patients who have a lobotomy receive radioactive iodine therapy or additional surgery to remove remaining thyroid tissue. The study shows that in the general, 12.5 percent of 16,500 wives evaluate developed thyroid disease compare to between 1 to 8 percent in general population. (Scientific American magazine) People don’t understand that “it’s a big deal for each person to screen their hormone function by taking a TSH test and control the level of hormones in humans body” .( Neergaard Lauran) In other hands, 60 percent of pesticides used today have been shown to affect the thyroid gland’s production of T3 and T4 hormones. They actually found that regarding to exposure to stress, radiation and pollutants have been known to increase person’s risk of developing thyroid problems. The study shows that pregnant women with an underactive thyroid increase the risk of having children with lower IQs. Also the new research found that even a little hypothyroidism can raise cholesterol level in adults. Result After all researching, they found two big categories which it’s leading people to understand better on the thyroid deficiency topic. If someone has hypothyroidism, they might overtaken to the puffy eyes and face, goiter, weight gain, dry skin, brittle nail, heavy menstrual periods and etc. Hypothyroidism is the easiest thyroid disease to treat. People will take pill to provide a synthetic thyroid hormones, they work safe and quickly. In the other side, someone with hyperthyroidism could be suffering from some other signs such as rapid heartbeat, weight loss, increasing sweating, diarrhea, scant menstrual periods, warm and moist palms, nervousness and bulging eyes. Hyperthyroidism is happen when thyroid release extra of hormones. People will suffer from have a too much metabolism that is running wild. Discussion Many women are at high risk. Endocrinologist said that most thyroid diseases run in families, and women should periodically get a TSH assay if they knew it’s run in family history then they should promote to request the TSH test at least once a year. Commonly, radioactive iodine and surgery it’s the result of underactive thyroid and treatable by tablet once a day but in the other hand people think why even should be happen. Nowadays, the iodine deficiency is no longer a problem because by getting enough iodine in people food, they actually decreased the thyroid problem in people. Result of underactive or overactive thyroid will cause the thyroid cancer which it can be cure. In the all of test that they had showed that lack of iodine can cause of thyroid disorder and not knowing that would be lead to the thyroid carcinoma which it is medical name of thyroid cancer. 3 References: 1.
