Dear patients and friends, hello! Today, I’m going to talk to you about the magical and important field of endocrine. Our human body is like a complex and exquisite microcosm, and the endocrine system is the magical “magician” in this microcosm.
You see, endocrine glands are like small treasures hidden in the body. The hormones they secrete, like messengers, run around the body to transmit information, telling our body how to grow, develop and metabolize.
Let’s
start with the thyroid. It is like a small butterfly on the neck, although it is small, the role can be great! Thyroid hormone is like the body’s “vitality factor”, if the thyroid hormone secretion is too much, people will be like playing chicken blood, panic, sweating, eating too much and emaciation, this is hyperthyroidism. But if the thyroid hormone secretion is insufficient, people will become lazy, no spirit, weight gain, this is hypothyroidism. Just as the wings of a small butterfly flap too hard or too weakly, it will affect the rhythm of the whole body. Let’s talk about diabetes, which is a “big star” endocrine disease.
Insulin is like a magic key, which can help us open the door of cells, let glucose in the blood enter cells smoothly, and provide energy for cells. But if there is a problem with insulin, either the amount is not enough, or the key is not working well, glucose can only be in the blood, and blood sugar will rise. At this time, we can not be taken lightly, we have to control our diet, exercise properly, and when necessary, we have to rely on drugs to help. There are also sex hormones, which are important “ministers” in charge of our human reproduction and secondary sexual characteristics. Whether male or female, once the sex hormones are out of balance, there will be various problems. For example, men may have less beard and sexual dysfunction, while women may have irregular menstruation, acne on their faces and so on. It’s like in this big band, one of the musicians is out of tune, and the whole music is out of order.
So how do we fight these little endocrine monsters? First of all, regular life is the key. Don’t stay up late. Staying up late is like a little devil who makes trouble for the endocrine system. It will make the hormone secretion out of order. Diet is also very important, eat less of those high sugar, high fat, high salt food, eat more vegetables and fruits, to supplement the body with adequate nutrition. In addition, to maintain a good mood, when the pressure is high, endocrine will also follow the “temper”.
I hope you can know more about endocrine diseases, and work with us to protect the balance of the body in this small universe, so that we can all be healthy!
