How Thyroid Also Affects Males

Eight out of ten thyroid patients are actually women. But there is also an alarming number of men affected with hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. If we base this on figures and not percentages, of 15 million afflicted with thyroidism, 3 million or so come from the men.

Thyroids

It is not certain why many thyroid conditions happen in women than in men. Medical practitioners believe that the hormonal changes women�s body go through during puberty, pregnancy and throughout menopause, may be the result of these. In other words, a woman may genetically inherit this predisposition.

Of thyroid cancer cases, about a miniscule percentage is composed of men. Yet if there is a presence of a nodule in the glands, this problem may be a lot more harmful to men than women. Nodules in men are the single components that lead to men�s thyroid cancer. They mutate and form into lumps that lead to swelling.

Insights on the Bird Flu Epidemic

If there is one epidemic that has been added to the list of diseases that can cause havoc towards the lives of people, the Bird Flu is perhaps something that will create a panic. Ever since it was discovered and found to be dangerous some time in 2003. As the name connotes, this virus came from China, stemming from the poultry business and has brought the epidemic towards classifying flu as a possible starting point.

Bird Flu Virus

To date, the diagnosis of coughs and colds has led physicians to go as far as treating the usual symptom more appropriately and ruling out the presence of Bird flu. Bird flu can go as far as providing high fever temperatures which may lead to untimely death if people are not careful. Vaccines and medical drugs such as Amantadines and Neuraminidase inhibitors, have been offered in such cases. For sure, there will be additional medicines and anti-biotics to widen the possible remedies to such a disease dreaded today.

Why People Should Get Annual Physical Examinations

Health is something that has become very delicate as of late. No longer is health relegated towards the hands of aspirins and paracetamols like the early years since the growing numbers of discovered illness and diseases have become something that may even go to the extent of becoming deadly and serious.

Annual Physical Examinations

Strange feelings or sudden attacks of fevers and colds are not plain flu like symptoms today. With the outbreak of such viruses such as the Bird Flu virus and AIDS, anything can hit anybody during actual contact or even from simply smelling wide open air.

The need for people to become more aware of their health has truly been something to pay more attention to. Health risks have simply become too delicate to overlook and referring to the mortality rate of today, it is not hard to note why. A regular annual check-up wouldn�t hurt people�s lives. One day out of 365 calendar days in a year is not much of a burden for the sake of individual health care today.
