thyroid in men

I am sure I gad Thyroid disease in my thirties also, I never had any symptoms other than a slightly elevated cholesterol level, but when I hit 58 things really started going down hill, I started out with insomnia and had to quit work because I could not sleep, and that made the fatigue worse, but everyone is different as far as symptoms go, some get most of them and others only a few, it seemed in my case, I had all of them hit me at once, it then took a year before I found an MD that diagnosed

We're not all that quiet, just out numbered. I've been on thyroid meds for about 35 years, but really can't relate to your question. Everybody is slightly different.

Hi there, The common causes of hot flashes in males are andropause, thyroid disorders and aging hormones. As a man ages his body produces less testosterone and androgen which may cause hot flashes. Other causes of hot flashes are infections like HIV and tuberculosis. Use of medications like Nifedipine and Calcitonin and certain antibiotics are few other causes of hot flashes. Sometimes food containing monosodium glutamate can cause hot flashes.

Well there are three separate issues with the thyroid. Hormones, Goiter and Lumps. Auto-immune thyroid disease can results in low (or high) thyroid hormones and cause the thyroid to enlarge. Auto-immune disease (Hashimoto's or Graves) is diagnosed via blood tests, TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone), T4/T3 (Actual thyroid hormones), and thyroid antibodies. If you haven't had these done, you should have them done. Your ENT didn't find any lumps but thinks your thyroid is large.

While thyroid issues are more prevalent in females than in males, there are a lot of males with every kind of thyroid issue, including cancer, hyper and hypo. Unfortunately, thyroid issues don't discriminate between genders or age. We have several male members on the forum; maybe one (or more) of them will chime in. There's really nothing different about men having thyroid issues than there is with women having them.

Uti's are common in women, but not so much in men. Only about 3% of all men worldwide get UTI's. You are part of that group. Hopefully antibiotics will clear it up and you'll not have to worry about it again. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320872.

Welcome to the group, but I'm sorry for the reason you are here. I'm assuming you aren't currently taking any Synthroid since you will be having RAI pretty soon which would certainly explain your fatigue. Many people here are hypothyroid either because of having their thyroid removed or for other reasons and can surely sympathize with all the symptoms that go along with it.

HT is seven times more likely to occur in women than in men. Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), the most prevalent form of cancer in the thyroid, is 2.5 times more likely to develop in women than men.

I'm going to get my blood checked again in october. this has been such a struggle i would really appreciate any help anyone is willing to give. thanks.

Is the thyroid working properly did they do blood work to check for hypo or hyperthyroidism etc. Thyroid cancer is more common in women than men since he does have a previous history of cancer I would advise rethinking about having the thryoid removed.Sometimes depending they can remove just one side of the thyroid sparing the other would just depend on the results of the pathology if only one side removed.
