00:00This month of January is Thyroid Awareness Month.

00:04This month, the public's awareness of thyroid-related diseases and thyroid cancer is increasing.

00:10That's right. Here at CineDoc, we are joined by Head and Neck Surgeon, Dr. Joseph Ray Richard Cedeno.

00:18Good morning, Dr. King. Welcome to Rise and Shine, Philippines. This is Dian and Audrey.

00:22Good morning.

00:23Good morning. Thank you for having me.

00:27Okay, Doc, before we continue, for those of our viewers who don't know or have forgotten,

00:33can you explain what thyroid is and what its function is in our body?

00:40Okay. Thyroid is located here, right in front of our brain.

00:45The function of our thyroid gland is very important because it controls our metabolism.

00:53In simple terms, let's make it simple. It's like the battery of our body.

00:58It produces a chemical called FT3 and FT4.

01:02It's like the one that gives electricity to our body or speeds up our metabolism.

01:09It's important because it helps to control our heartbeat, whether it's fast or slow,

01:19our thoughts, whether our thoughts are sharp or not, it depends on the chemical that our body produces.

01:29The function of this thyroid is very important.

01:32Right, Doc? There are two types of thyroid disease, hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, hypo and hyper.

01:40What is the difference between the two?

01:43Yes, that's very important.

01:45The chemical that our thyroid gland produces, FT3 and FT4,

01:49if the production of those hormones is too high, that's called hyperthyroidism.

01:58The opposite is hypothyroidism.

02:00We can compare hyperthyroidism to...

02:04It's like you're having a lot of coffee.

02:06You're having palpitations, you're waking up, it's hard to sleep, you get hot easily.

02:12The opposite is hypothyroidism.

02:16It's like you're lacking energy.

02:19You're tired, you're sleepy, you think slowly,

02:24you become drowsy, your body lacks energy.

02:31Those are the low thyroid hormones.

02:35Well, Doc, what happens to a person's body when they have hypothyroidism?

02:44That's right.

02:45The signs of hyperthyroidism are good.

02:48It's like you're having a lot of coffee.

02:50Your metabolism is fast, your energy is fast.

02:53You get tired easily.

02:55The patient gets tired.

02:56There are others, their eyes get blurry.

02:58They have palpitations, they're always nervous, it's hard to sleep.

03:02That's hyperthyroidism.

03:04Hypothyroidism, on the other hand, is the opposite.

03:07You get nervous because your metabolism is slow.

03:10Your heart beats slow.

03:12There are others, their hair falls off and their skin becomes dry and constipated.

03:18It's hard to sleep.

03:20Those are the other signs of hypothyroidism.

03:24All right.

03:25Doc, what are the risk factors

03:27or what could be the reasons for a thyroid problem?

03:32One of them is individual.

03:36Well, first and foremost,

03:39one cause is the lack of iodine in the body.

03:42But most of our food today has a lot of iodine.

03:46And you can get iodine from seafood, fish, shellfish, even from meat.

03:51Beef and chicken, not much on pork.

03:55The amount of iodine in beef or chicken is low,

03:58but it's still higher than in shellfish.

04:00You can also get this from eggs, veggies, fruits.

04:06Other causes of problems with thyroid would be high risk.

04:11If there's a family with a goiter,

04:14it's better to get it checked.

04:17Infection, even viral infection can cause thyroid problems.

04:22Okay.

04:23Okay, Doc, what are the symptoms?

04:25Are there any early signs or symptoms

04:29that an individual might have

04:32to recognize that this is a thyroid problem?

04:37Commonly, the first thing to check is if there's a bump in the front of the neck.

04:42If there's a bump, it's better to get it checked right away

04:46if there's a bump in the front of the neck.

04:50The second thing is palpitations.

04:53If your hands are shaking,

04:55it's also a sign that your thyroid hormones are rising

04:59and there's hyperthyroidism.

05:02So the most common thing is a bump in the neck, palpitations,

05:06nervousness, rapid weight gain.

05:09Those are the common signs and symptoms.

05:13But commonly, it runs in the family.

05:16So if there's a family, it's better to get it checked.

05:19Alright.

05:20How do we diagnose if a person has a thyroid problem?

05:25There are blood tests that we do.

05:27It's called the Thyroid Stimulating Hormone or TSH.

05:30We check the thyroid hormones,

05:33FT4, 3T3, 3T4,

05:36and most importantly, the thyroid ultrasound.

05:40Those are the basic things that we check

05:42to find out if there's a thyroid problem.

05:45Okay.

05:46How can an individual avoid having a thyroid problem?

05:54That's healthy living.

05:56First of all, I've repeatedly said that it can run in the family.

06:02So if there's a family, get it checked immediately.

06:07Eat food that are rich in iodine.

06:11There are foods that decrease the absorption of iodine.

06:14These are cabbage, broccoli, and fish.

06:17But if it's cooked or boiled, it will have no effect.

06:21Because there are foods that decrease iodine in our body.

06:25If it's fresh food.

06:27But if it's cooked, not much effect.

06:29One thing that's important to know is that thyroid,

06:32even though it's a cancer,

06:34it's usually curable.

06:36So it's better to get it checked early and get well soon.

06:42Doc, is there a connection to paninigarilyo?

06:47Paninigarilyo increases the risk of cancer.

06:52So yes, it can be related.

06:55It decreases our immune system.

06:57And thus, it can cause thyroid cancer.

07:01All right.

07:02Doc, for those who don't have time to get checked up,

07:07is there anything you can do at home to check if it's possible

07:11that a person has a problem with their thyroid?

07:16Like what we talked about earlier,

07:18the signs and symptoms,

07:20if there's a tightness,

07:21sometimes it tightens the neck.

07:23Especially if there's a tightness in the mucous,

07:25and if you move,

07:26the mucous also moves.

07:28Most likely, the problem is in the thyroid.

07:31If the mucous moves and doesn't move,

07:34it's usually just pulmonary.

07:36But if you move,

07:37and the mucous moves along with the movement,

07:40it's possible that there's a goiter or thyroid nodule.

07:43A goiter is a thyroid gland that grows or has a mucous inside.

07:49It's called a goiter or bosho in Tagalog.

07:53Okay, Doc.

07:54Lastly,

07:55what is your message or advice to our RSPs,

07:59especially this Thyroid Awareness Month?

08:03Let's not neglect our thyroid.

08:05It's a very important part of our body.

08:08If there's a problem,

08:09there's a chance that you'll have a goiter,

08:11and if there's a history in the family,

08:13you should get it checked immediately.

08:15It's often used as a medicine,

08:17and it can be used as a remedy.

08:19Well, thank you very much

08:21for the information you shared with us,

08:23Dr. King Cedeno.

08:24Thank you for the free medicine.

08:26Thank you very much, Doc.

08:28You're welcome.
