Some symptoms of low testosterone include low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, body hair loss, fatigue, obesity, and loss of muscle mass. However, Testosterone Deficiency only occurs in about 2 of  every 100 men. Less than 1% of younger men have this condition, while about 50% of men over 80 have the condition. Naturally, the condition occurs more often with older age. Causes of low testosterone include congenital conditions, damage to the testicles, removal of the testicles, chemotherapy/radiation, and pituitary gland disease. ]]> 2021-05-11 02:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/jandjbowles112214_1/s8uxx1rgrdefkykn/wish/1511902188 victoria_hsu https://padlet.com/jandjbowles112214_1/s8uxx1rgrdefkykn/wish/1512134475 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome:

MEN1 is a rare, inherited condition, occurring in about 1 in 30,000 people.  And 1/3 carrier of MEN 1 dies eventually from it. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome is a rare disorder presenting with varying combinations among its three main endocrine tumors, but it includes a varying combination of more than 20 endocrine and non-endocrine tumors.

This can cause an increased amount of calcium being released from your bones into your blood, having the digestive tract digest more food than what you eat, and cause kidney stones. Hyperparathyroidism is normally caused by an enlarged gland. Treatment includes surgery to remove the enlarged gland, medications, or if it not very severe then just close monitoring. ]]> 2021-05-14 06:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jandjbowles112214_1/s8uxx1rgrdefkykn/wish/1523855105 https://padlet.com/jandjbowles112214_1/s8uxx1rgrdefkykn/wish/1542298039 Goiter is a condition where the thyroid gland is abnormally large below Adam's apple. Goiter is usually caused by iodine deficiency or inflammation in the thyroid gland. As the thyroid gland swells it becomes larger to the point where it makes it difficult to eat and breathe. Goiter is more often due to the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones or to nodules in the gland. Symptoms of goiter are swelling in your throat, coughing, difficultly swallowing, and breathing. Don't get worried goiter can be treated with surgery, medication, and supportive care.   ]]> 2021-05-20 03:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jandjbowles112214_1/s8uxx1rgrdefkykn/wish/1542298039
