Children with thyroid gland disorders can’t produce hormones themselves or can produce it in a smaller amount as usual. To timely prevent children’s thyroid gland diseases, parents should have their children’s health checked routinely. To meet the needs of parents, Thu Cuc Medical System-TCI has launched a health checkup and thyroid gland screening package for children aged 7 to 15 years old with an essential examination list.
1. Why do we have to care for children’s thyroid glands?
Hormone from the thyroid gland is essential to the brain and body development from birth to adulthood. If there is a hormone deficiency in the thyroid gland, children will experience mental retardation and slow growth, leading to dwarfism.
Children with thyroid gland diseases usually have vague symptoms, so parents will be unable to detect it with naked eyes. When they detect symptoms, the illness has developed into the late stage, because children’s nervous system develops fast. Therefore, if treatment is delayed, children become mentally and physically retarded compared with those of the same age.
In reality, many children are hospitalized with symptoms such as stunted growth, learning disabilities and other diseases. Therefore, parents should have their children’s health checked and screened for thyroid gland diseases soonest to detect the disease and have timely treatment and intervention to avoid its complications.
