[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] A 60-year-old man who had suffered from colorectal cancer was very optimistic and cheerful during treatment, and he was very positive regardless of surgery and chemotherapy.

However, in the past 1 or 2 years, I have become less talkative, depressed, and I don’t like eating too much, and even lost a little weight. My family members worried that the brain metastases of the cancer would cause emotional changes, so they went to the doctor again.

After the doctor's examination, everything was normal, and there was no sign of cancer recurrence or metastasis.

However, because he had symptoms of bone headache, chest tightness and discomfort, he further arranged for all hormone examinations and found that it was low thyroid hormone.

Later, I supplemented with thyroxine for 1 week, and after returning to the clinic, I felt much better.

Chen Rongjian, CEO of Minsheng General Hospital's Minimally Invasive Surgery Center, posted on his Facebook fan page "Surgery Dr. Chen Rongjian - A Field of Bodybuilding Without Secrets" and his personal website, pointing out that when thyroid hormone drops instantly, there will be obvious edema. However, this disease The patient has had low thyroid hormone for a long time. In addition, he also has symptoms of loss of appetite. He began to eat less and the edema became less obvious, so he did not look at the aspect of hypothyroidism.

Hypothyroidism may be related to pituitary gland

Chen Rongjian mentioned that if the thyroid gland cannot secrete enough thyroxine to supply the body, it is easy to cause hypothyroidism, and there are actually many reasons for this.

There may be a problem with the thyroid itself, or it may be related to the pituitary gland.

Generally, when thyroid hormone is low, there will be symptoms such as edema, loss of appetite, chest tightness, decreased activity, and bone headache.

Often the symptoms of hypothyroidism are gradual and can easily be misdiagnosed as depression.

Regarding the treatment of hypothyroidism, Chen Rongjian explained that the most important treatment is to supplement thyroxine, and the dose of thyroxine may need to be adjusted several times, so it is necessary to cooperate with the doctor for regular check-ups, and do not adjust the dose without authorization.
