A stress and complication free pregnancy is dream of all woman but in some cases this dream not come true just because of some unwanted hormonal disorders or anemia or some other complication but according to recent studies these days thyroid disorder is a major problem facing by pregnant women and it leads to miscarriage or pre-mature deliveries.

Now it’s compulsory to have a blood test to check the thyroid level (TSH) and if it is not at the normal range, it’s a alarming situation and it’s necessary to take a proper medication to have a HEALTHY PREGNANCY.

According to recent studies which is done on 4000 women confirm that if TSH level and Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, low or high as per normal range in first three months of pregnancy it will lead to miscarriage. If a woman having TSH high means range between 2.3 to 5.0, have just double chances of miscarriage as compare to pregnant woman who has TSH low than 2.5.

Mostly physicians and labs believe that TSH between .5 to 5.50 is normal range but in 2007, an Endocrine Society suggested that Normal TSH level should be up to 2.5 in first trimester to avoid miscarriage, but all physicians have their own concept regarding TSH level and it is not universally accepted.

If a pregnant woman is suffering with hypothyroidism, have more chances of miscarriage, placental abruption, and hypertension or low weight pre-mature delivery as compare to pregnancy with normal TSH level. If a woman is already going through with thyroid disorder, she must plan her pregnancy by a proper consultation of a specialized gynecologist.

So take it seriously if you want a safe and smooth pregnancy, always go for a TSH level (thyroid blood test) check up when you are going to conceive and have a blissful pregnancy.

Thyroid Disorder And Kids

Have you ever heard that Thyroid is a common problem in children as well but mostly undiagnosed? Mainly parents if see some symptoms related to thyroid they avoid to have a clinical test of thyroid by following their own myth that how a child can get hormonal problem and that is a big reason behind the increasing number of thyroid problem in kids. But few parents are concern to their child’s health specially, when kids get a problem of overweight they think that they should have a hormonal check-up of their kids. As per recent research a child with overweight and with good height may not be a victim of thyroid disorder but fat with short height is probably having a thyroid disorder.

If your child feel very dizzy and tired all the time and habitual to have a long sleep but still feel very drowsy, than it must be a alarming situation to have a clinical thyroid check-up and must consult your pediatrician to come to appropriate result.

So parents must keep an eye on their kids activities and notice if they will something unusual and similar to symptoms of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism and take it seriously.

How to verify the symptoms

If thyroid gland stop functioning properly and don’t produce thyroid hormone in adequate amount than it will show some symptoms like short height, rough and dry skin, improper bowl system, dizziness, pale skin, white breast discharge, early or late puberty, headache and eye-sight problems and will result in form of Hyperthyroidism.

And in opposite if thyroid gland starts secreting hormones in excess it will result in hyperthyroidism and main symptoms for hyperthyroidism are behavioral change means getting irritate and excited suddenly, lack of concentration, improved hunger, weight loss, goiter, palpitation, blushing skin, weak muscles, and sometimes get problem of high blood pressure.

If you are noticing these symptoms in your kid you must consult to Pediatric endocrinologist for proper medication as most of the time in lack of proper medication and treatment thyroid get undiagnosed and it is not good for health.

What is asbestos?

Asbestos is a insulator which is microscopic also that’s why used in many different industries to improve the strength and temperature resistance of some compounds. As asbestos fibers are quite minute so a person working in asbestos exposure doesn’t realize its entrance in their respiratory system and get affected by its harmful side-effects.

Some other factors responsible for Mesothelioma

Mainly asbestos is the main causes behind lung cancer but still some factors are there that increase the chances of getting lung cancer.

1. Smoking is an  another serious cause as its directly related to usual lung carcinomas so the person who is already in touch of asbestos exposure have more chances to affected by Mesothelioma if he is also a chain smoker as well.
2. If a person gets in exposure to radiations, also have chances to suffer with lung cancer since radiations also cause affect on cells of lungs or other internal organs and causes cancer.
