Recently, Ms. Wang was a little irritable because she did not sleep well. In the past, she turned off the TV at the end of the day and slept until dawn. But now? Ms. Wang always woke up in the middle of the night to her thirsty and had to get up and drink some water to go back to sleep.
And the strange point is here. For several nights in a row, Ms. Wang felt her throat smoking, after drinking some water to sleep, she deliberately drank more water during the day, thinking that it should be fine. But no matter how much water she drank in advance during the day, the situation of waking up thirsty in the middle of the night was not improved.
She always had to get up in the early hours of the morning, pour water to drink, and lie back down to sleep. During the day, it seemed that she was easily tired because her sleep situation had become worse at night. When she thought of this sudden change, Ms. Wang's heart was in a tizzy.
By the time the holiday came, the son who was away at university came home. It was easy to see the baby son, Ms. Wang was overwhelmed with joy, busy making him a table of delicious food. At the dinner table, Sister Fang felt hot and thirsty and kept drinking water and fanning herself. Her son looked at her suspiciously several times.
By the end of the day, her son was playing games in his room and having a good time. Ms. Wang went to bed early after a long day of work. At 1:00 or 2:00 a.m., she woke up thirsty as usual and got up to pour water.
Ms. Wang got up and saw that her son was still not resting, so she couldn't help but urge him to go to bed early. The son casually asked: Mom, why are you still not sleeping? The first thing you need to do is to get up and get some water.
The first time I heard this, the older boy, who was busy playing games, came along with a sentence: Mom, this is a typical manifestation of menopause. You are entering menopause, right?
When I heard my son's words, Ms. Wang felt strange to have the way. The age may have arrived. The reaction of waking up thirsty in the middle of the night, weakness, and fear of heat during the day could be the menopause playing tricks!
After finding the foci, Ms. Wang started searching for some menopause management tips on her phone the next day. The next day, she started to search for some menopause tips on her mobile phone. That was the end of the story.
Long-term dry mouth, dry eyes, doctors: do not panic away, you do a checkup again
The Internet says that once a woman enters menopause, her body is too uncomfortable. Now Ms. Wang can be considered to have deep experience. But after all, it does not hurt, it is not good to go to the hospital, get over it. Dry mouth? Then drink more water. Dry eyes? Then point eye drops, and soothe a little.
Until the unit organized a routine physical examination, she was left alone by the medical examiner, who instructed her to do a professional examination. Ms. Wang took a look at her colleagues of the same age are fine, only she was left behind, a little panicked.
At the hospital, Ms. Wang was examined for six A-factors, electrocardiogram, and abdominal ultrasound. As she told the doctor that she had a chronic dry mouth and dry eyes but little nocturia, the doctor also added rheumatism four items and immunoglobulin complement to her checkup.
Once she saw so many tests, Ms. Wang felt her scalp tingling. She had no pain, no itch, just a little menopausal reaction, why should she be prescribed so many tests? It's just a minor problem, isn't this excessive medical treatment?
Ms. Wang was angry and wanted to talk to the doctor. The doctor looked at the patient's lab report, looked up, and told her: "The diagnosis is confirmed.
What? What exactly is the problem?
The doctor said: After ruling out dry syndrome, what you have should be hyperthyroidism.
When she heard this, Ms. Wang froze for a moment, not because of a menopausal reaction, but because of hyperthyroidism? But she didn't look like that. The neck is thick and the eyes are protruding, but they are not.
It turns out that chronic dry mouth may also be related to hyperthyroidism!
4 kinds of disease signs: dry mouth, dry tongue, drinking water constantly
01 Dryness syndrome
First of all, when the doctor informed the patient, he mentioned a major disease that he needed to exclude --- dry syndrome. What is the meaning of this disease? If dryness is also a disease, then the treatment is to drink more water.
The dry syndrome is related to abnormal immune function. The specific symptoms are similar to the performance of Fang's long-term dry eyes and dry mouth. It is the abnormal immune function that causes our tear gland and salivary gland to malfunction. And the consequences are serious. Since it is the immune system that is out of order, subsequent untreated, it may affect a person's normal eating.
02 Hyperthyroidism
A typical manifestation of hyperthyroidism: is the body's metabolism is accelerated and sympathetic nerves are excited, so it may lead to serious water loss.
Since the loss of water in the body is aggravated, it is natural to feel thirsty easily. Ordinary people may think it is simply a case of eating salty food and wanting to drink water. However, many patients experience an accompanying increase in body temperature, fear of heat, and excessive sweating. If the situation does not improve even after changing the diet, you should pay more attention to the fact that this may be a symptom of special disease.
03 Diabetes mellitus
The typical symptoms of diabetes: "three more and one less" are familiar to many people. Compared with Fang's case, the performance of diabetic patients is significantly different from hers.
When patients have osmotic diuresis due to high blood sugar, a vicious cycle tends to form afterward, not only drinking more but also urinating more. But in a hyperthyroid patient like Fang, although she also feels a dry mouth and wants to drink water for a long time, there is no significant increase in urine output. This point can help us make a preliminary distinction.
04 Liver disease
When a person has liver problems, the most likely symptom is abnormal dryness. This dry mouth, however, will also be accompanied by the manifestation of bitterness in the mouth. People who suffer from liver disease have bitter mouths, which cannot be relieved by drinking water. This is because the liver has accumulated a lot of toxins, and the body's metabolism is abnormal.
Some dryness, and drinking less water can have nothing to do with, but also with special diseases related. In daily life, if you encounter long-term dryness that cannot be solved by drinking water, don't be careless.
