DISEASE MAY LIE BENEATH YOUR INABILITY TO LOSE WEIGHT
Hashimoto’s disease, a type of thyroid inflammation, is often seen in women. This disease, which prevents weight loss, can be seen in all age groups. Turkish General Surgery Specialist Op. Dr. in Turkey gave information about Hashimoto’s disease, which shows different symptoms from person to person.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, or ‘Hashimoto’s thyroiditis ” as it is called in medicine, is an autoimmune disease caused by the immune system attacking thyroid cells that work to protect our body from microbes. One of the most important causes of thyroid insufficiency is Hashimoto’s type thyroid inflammation.
Our body produces a large amount of anti-TPO antibodies and anti-thyroglobulin antibodies to destroy the thyroid gland. These antibodies attack the thyroid gland, destroying the thyroid cells and preventing the thyroid from producing hormones. As a result of inflammation, the thyroid cells are destroyed, when they decrease, the gland shrinks, and there are no cells left to make hormones. Eventually, thyroid hormone deficiency occurs in the person.

RISK GROUP WOMEN UNDER
The main cause of Hashimoto’s disease is that the immune system incorrectly identifies its own tissues as foreign and tries to attack those tissues (the thyroid). The most common “Hashimoto’s thyroid” occurs when the targeted organ is a thyroid.
At the beginning, an excess of thyroid hormones occurs, and then a gradual increase in the destroyed tissues, thyroid hormone insufficiency occurs. Hashimoto is more common, especially in women. Estrogen and genetic predisposition are among the risk factors. Although it is more common in the young-middle age group, it can occur at any age.

THERE IS NO DEFINITIVE CURE FOR THE DISEASE
There is no treatment method that will destroy Hashimoto’s type of thyroid inflammation or a treatment method that will completely eliminate the disease. Treatment is done only to prevent an excess of thyroid hormones or a lack of thyroid hormones.
At the first beginning of the disease, hyperthyroidism or thyroid gland growth, popularly known as thyroid poisoning, occurs. Drug therapy is applied to address these complaints when the patient begins attacks of hyperthyroidism, which cause weight loss, heart palpitations, diarrhea, frequent urination, insomnia, restlessness and tremor.
In an advanced Hashimoto’s patient in memorial Antalya and Istanbul hospital in Turkey, thyroid hormone deficiency begins and complaints such as obesity, tendency to sleep, fatigue, lack of concentration, forgetfulness, chills; drug therapy is given to eliminate. In the treatment of this drug, thyroid hormone supplements are made from the outside.
