The word [endocrine disorder] may not be unfamiliar to everyone.
Face acne, this is endocrine disorders?
Menstruation is irregular, is this endocrine disorder?
Anxiety plus insomnia, is this endocrine disorder?
… …
Eight out of ten people may have experienced [endocrine disorders]. Why?
Because they are all… they gave themselves blind diagnosis…
Are you having an endocrine disorder today?
Before saying [what is an endocrine disorder], we need to learn another word: hormone.
Hormones are chemicals produced by endocrine glands in the body, which can regulate various physiological activities.
The hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, pancreas, adrenal gland, ovary, testis, etc. of the human body are all classic endocrine glands that can secrete hormones, while the broad endocrine tissues also include liver, heart, gastrointestinal tract, fat, etc.
Hormones give people the impression that they are powerful and mysterious. What seems to be in charge of growth and development, joys and sorrows, eating, drinking and scattering.
In fact, hormones themselves do not have these functions. Their function is only to transmit instructions, just like a key to open a matching lock.
If there are too many keys, too few keys, or the key locks do not match, the so-called [endocrine disorders] will be caused.
This [hormone], not that [hormone]
Hormones are a general term. Androgen, estrogen, insulin, thyroxine, glucocorticoid and so on, which we are familiar with, are all important members of the hormone family.
In different contexts, the [hormone] in people’s mouth refers to different objects. For example:
- A hormone that promotes adolescent development, It refers to androgens and estrogens secreted by testis and ovaries respectively. The [hormone] disorder during abnormal menstruation of women, It refers to the functional abnormality of hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary endocrine axis. Hormone replacement therapy for menopause syndrome of middle-aged and elderly women, Most of them refer to estrogen and progesterone. It is commonly used to treat asthma, allergy and various immune diseases, especially glucocorticoid. There are also [insulin] for diabetics, [thyroxine] for hypothyroidism patients, [growth hormone] for children with dwarfism, and [gonadotropin releasing hormone] for patients with sexual dysplasia……
These are hormones, but their sources, functions and functions are completely different.
Confusion of various hormones is the source of many misunderstandings and prejudices in life, so that many people turn pale at the mention of [hormone therapy] and even blindly resist it.
The reasons behind what you think [endocrine disorders] are quite different.
Broadly speaking, any disorder occurring in the endocrine system, the change of hormone secretion and the abnormality of hormone action can be called endocrine disorder.
As for the various symptoms of women [endocrine disorders] mentioned earlier, there are actually different reasons, some related to hormones, others have nothing to do with endocrine.
For example, the rapid development of sebaceous glands and the large amount of lipid secretion under the action of androgen are of course the important physiological basis for the occurrence of acne, but clinically there is no need to routinely check hormone levels for acne patients, and acne that really needs antiandrogen therapy is even less.
Another example is that it is also manifested as [menstrual disorder], the internal cause of which may be endocrine diseases, anatomical structure abnormalities, blood system diseases, reproductive system inflammation, and even tumors.
Therefore, when you encounter relevant problems, you should consult a specialist, not to make a hasty self-diagnosis of [endocrine disorders], and not to be influenced by some health advertisements, and blindly choose those health care drugs, essential oil secret recipes or massage that claim to be able to [regulate endocrine].
It’s all right. Don’t mess up
Endocrine disorders are not a diagnosis. No responsible doctor can make such a diagnosis. It is just a vague folk saying.
As soon as everyone heard of the imbalance, they felt that they should adjust it, but there was no such omnipotent method. Hormones should be used, hormones should be used, other drugs should be taken, other drugs should be taken, and the operation should be carried out. Don’t mess with anything.
