Al-Marsad newspaper: Dr. Abdulaziz Al-Othman, Clinical Education Consultant, revealed the symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease, the group most susceptible to it, and methods of treating it.
Immune disease
Al-Othman said, in a video clip on his TikTok account, that “Hashimoto’s” is an autoimmune disease, as the immune system begins to attack the body’s cells as enemy cells and not among the body’s cells.
Thyroid
He added: The immune system attacks the thyroid cells, destroying them and weakening them. Therefore, these people develop weakness in the thyroid gland, and it is more common in people who suffer from other immune diseases such as vitiligo, lupus, rheumatic infections, and diabetes.
Exhaustion and fatigue
He explained: This disease affects women more than men, especially those in their thirties and forties, pointing out that its symptoms include exhaustion, fatigue, muscle pain, a desire to sleep, lack of concentration, enlarged tongue, hoarseness, constipation, irregular menstrual cycle, weight gain, weak hair, skin problems, and dryness in the skin. The skin, and its symptoms also include anxiety, stress, and depression.
Food Supplements
He continued: This disease is more common in people who take nutritional supplements (iodine, calcium, estrogen, cholesterol medications, and iron supplements).
concupiscence
He stated: Delayed treatment leads to heart problems, skin problems, depression, severe weakness in sexual desire, and fertility problems. Some women become pregnant with children who have congenital deformities, explaining that the treatment for this disease is simple, which is thyroxine.
Calcium and iron
He continued: If there is a deficiency in some elements, such as calcium, iron, vitamin D, and others, it must be compensated for, and if it is a major deficiency, we need supplements, noting: We must reduce gluten, wheat and barley products, and reduce sugar and white flour and prevent them, as they are among the things that greatly help in treatment, physical fitness, and coexistence. With the disease and not be afraid of it and follow the doctor.
