Can My Constipation Be About An Underactive Thyroid?

Posted by Afni | July 30th, 2010 in Thyroid | No Comments »

Hypothyroidism is simply a matter of too little hormones flowing from the thyroid gland. In reality though it’s no simple matter. This critical hormone level regulates everything from your energy level to your mood in general. Basic aches and pains that many people shrug off as being signs of aging are in truth results of a low hormone level from an underactive thyroid.

In fact if you could attribute all the things we accept as being natural aging and properly sourced them to the thyroid and provided treatment, aging might not be the traumatic experience it has become in today’s world. If you have started a weight loss program and saw success for a week or two and then without changing a thing about your diet routine your slow but steady weight loss stopped it could very well be blamed on your metabolism.

An underactive thyroid can cause any number of malady’s to surface and send you running to the doctor for a cure. If the ache is due to a muscle pull or your tiredness is due to the fact that you’ve been working 60 hour weeks for two months due to an increase workload at the office then don’t look for a thyroid problem to treat.

But if you tired and you work a normal pace at a job you’ve been doing for some time without complaint and you’re now always tired and aching and irritable and cranky and lately constipation has added itself to the reasons you feel like ye-ch then maybe it is your thyroid.

The first is the Pap test, carried out using a piece of cotton, a brush or a small wooden spatula to gently scrape the outside of the cervix to collect cells. The patient may feel some pressure, but usually do not feel pain.

If cells are abnormal, your doctor will remove a tissue sample (this procedure is known biopsy) of the cervix and observe under a microscope to check for cancer cells.

To perform a biopsy only need a small amount of tissue and can be done in the doctor’s office. Whether to do a biopsy, a doctor needs to remove a larger sample in the form of cone (cone), the patient may have to go to hospital.

The prognosis (chance of recovery) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is in the cervix or has spread to other places) and the overall health status of the patient.
