Endocrine System Disease Prevention Week (in honor of World Thyroid Day on May 25)

The endocrine system is one of the key systems in the human body, responsible for hormonal balance and overall health. Diseases of the endocrine system are becoming more common every year.  The main factors that lead to the development of endocrine disorders include: infectious diseases, hereditary factors, chronic diseases of other organs and systems, cardiovascular insufficiency, surgical interventions, and taking a number of medications.

Since hormones produced by the endocrine glands regulate the functioning of organs and systems, endocrine diseases disrupt metabolism and cause symptoms characteristic, for example, of skin diseases, kidneys, etc. There are many causes of thyroid disease, but 90% of thyroid diseases are caused by iodine deficiency.  The consumption of iodized salt helps to prevent endocrine disorders.

 Endocrine disease prevention measures often involve lifestyle choices that support overall health and hormonal balance. It is very important to consult with a medical professional for individual recommendations and regular checkups in order to monitor your health and identify any potential problems in a timely manner. We wish you good health!
