Prostate issues?
in [Thyroid]
|
From: Mr. Potato Head on 25 Jul 2008 18:38 After scanning through 10 pages of this newsgroup looking for prostate issues, I decided that either there's an uncommon link between prostate issues and hypothyroidism or guys just aren't talking about it. I stopped taking Levothroid to see what would happen and I think I may developed prostatis issues. I hate the thought of taking a pill every day and decided to try other things. Now I think I have this prostate issue and I hope I didn't do permanent damage. I had a PSA done a few months ago and the doctor told me the results normal. He didn't give me the exact results and I forgot to ask. But he did find the my prostate was a little swollen but nothing to be alarmed about. He asked me if prostate cancer was in my family and it's not--as far as I know. Most men in my family have died at ripe, old ages. So... does anyone know if there are studies done regarding hypo and prostate problems? I'm taking my thyroid meds again.
From: Alan B. Mac Farlane on 25 Jul 2008 23:46 No direct link ... however there is an indirect link from being HYPOthyroid .... not having enough thryoixine in your system .. just ruins everything. So ... you stop taking your thyroid meds on an experimental lark on your own is just a quirk from your defense structure. My guess is that you had prostate issues smoldering away ... and your defense structure made you stop the pills for a while ... just to have the prostate surface so you can get early treatment. There are no accidents Mr Potato dood ... the defense structure makes everything ... and it is directed at raising healthy children. The better you are for kids, the longer you stick around. Russel and Tony Snow ... are bad for kids so they get taken outta here. Foul Mouth George Carlin ... good for kids ... so he stuck around for a bit. go figure ... sumbuddie wear blind sea :) in article efbe42ea-5a9e-4bb6-befb-e7422b7b750a(a)k37g2000hsf.googlegroups.com, Mr. Potato Head at alex.cordero(a)gmail.com wrote on 7/25/08 3:38 PM: > After scanning through 10 pages of this newsgroup looking for prostate > issues, I decided that either there's an uncommon link between > prostate issues and hypothyroidism or guys just aren't talking about > it. > > I stopped taking Levothroid to see what would happen and I think I may > developed prostatis issues.

Hello again Mr PH, o PSA tests have been touted as wonderful and damned as useless. Not sure where they are ranked on that scale nowadays? o It wouldn't have to be exactly a rare connection not to appear here. o According to some, pretty much all of us (men) start to get funny things happening to our prostates before we go. The questions are more towards the 'How funny are the things happening to me?', 'How fast are they happening?'. I found this, which might be of some interest: <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15867011> Otherwise, suggest you dedicate a few hours (or is that days and weeks?) here: <http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez/> My feeling is that you are sensible to be taking your thyroid meds again. All the best. -- Rod Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious onset.

hmm... no prostate issues here.... Gail. (but I think more women get diagnosed with thyroid problems than men - something to do with the whole pregnancy process aggravating autoimmune tendencies) |
