The thyroid isn't creating enough of the thyroid hormone, which slows down metabolism. Common symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, change in voice, and dry skin.

It is characterized by progressive anemia, hypotension, hypoglycemia, fatigue, increased skin pigmentation, joint pain, and loss of appetite. Essentially, the adrenal glands above the kidneys do not produce enough hormones. John F. Kennedy had Addison´s Disease. ]]> 2021-11-01 18:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/l1002122/zsoqg1rwfmu9ieuj/wish/1859630218 l1002122 https://padlet.com/l1002122/zsoqg1rwfmu9ieuj/wish/1859630426 Cushing´s disease is a condition resulting from the hypersecretion of cortisol. It may be caused by a tumor or prolonged use of steroids. It is characterized by weakness; thin, easily bruised skin; hypertension; and weight gain. Essentially, is is when you have too much cortisol (from steroids or the adrenal glands). King Henry VIII is thought to have had Cushing's.]]> 2021-11-01 18:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/l1002122/zsoqg1rwfmu9ieuj/wish/1859630426 l1002122 https://padlet.com/l1002122/zsoqg1rwfmu9ieuj/wish/1859631439 Grave´s disease is an autoimmune condition that results in hyperthyroidism. It is characterized by bulging eyeballs and an enlarged thyroid gland. Essentially, the thyroid is overactive and overproduces hormones. George H. W.

Essentially, the thyroid has an inflammation that leaks so there are excessive thyroid hormones, and people with this experience fatigue and weight gain. There is no cure, but pills can be taken.

The pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone leading to growth of bones in children or adolescence. It is often called by a tumor in the pituitary gland.

Dwarfism has many causes, one of them can be endocrine dysfunction resulting from a lack of Growth Hormone. Another cause can be genetic.

The tumor causes the pituitary gland to make too much prolactin, which decreases the amount of sex hormones. This affects how women make breast milk and can cause irregular menstrual periods in women. Tara Palmer-Tomkinson had prolactinoma. ]]> 2021-11-01 18:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/l1002122/zsoqg1rwfmu9ieuj/wish/1859632171 l1002122 https://padlet.com/l1002122/zsoqg1rwfmu9ieuj/wish/1859634170 Thyroid cancer is cancer of the thyroid.
