How difficult is summer? Taking an extra step outside is like being punished. The sunscreen you apply will be quickly washed away by sweat. Others are not hot but you are sweating...
Endocrinologist reminds: If you are more afraid of heat than those around you, it is best to check Check thyroid .
The thyroid gland is a "thermostat" that regulates body temperature by secreting hormones. Once its function is abnormal, there will be an intolerance to heat or cold.
Hyperthyroidism makes you more afraid of heat than others
The full name of hyperthyroidism is hyperthyroidism, which is caused by the body secreting too much thyroid hormone. Hyperthyroidism will increase the excitability and metabolism of the body's nervous, circulatory, digestive and other systems.
Hyperthyroidism patients with strong energy metabolism have a higher basal body temperature than the average person. Coupled with the hot summer temperatures, they will become overheated.
It should be reminded that if the thyroid hormone in the body is not enough, it will cause hypothyroidism, which is hypothyroidism.
Due to poor blood circulation and insufficient energy production, patients with hypothyroidism may experience symptoms such as abnormal sensitivity to cold, no sweating, and low body temperature. However, due to the insidious onset and atypical symptoms of hypothyroidism, almost 98% of patients do not know they have the disease.
