Thyroid Eye Disease

1. Coherent Market Insights Thyroid eye disease is an autoimmune condition that affects people who have a thyroid gland that is hyperactive. Thyroid eye diseases are an auto-immune disorder that causes excessive inflammation of the thyroid gland, muscles, tissues, and surrounding skin surrounding the eyes. In many autoimmune diseases, the immune system wrongly attacks a normal component of our body. Swelling and inflammation from thyroid eye disease may result in symptoms like double vision and eye fatigue. Thyroid diseases can be chronic or acute, with the former being chronic and the latter being acute. Thyroid diseases which are chronic are most common in middle-aged women, whereas the symptoms are far less common in men. Acute thyroid diseases are caused by the body's immune system attacking the gland in a non-inflammatory way. As such, symptoms can go unnoticed for months, even years. Thyroid eye diseases that are acute are usually diagnosed through medical surveillance, where blood samples are drawn and checked regularly to monitor the condition of thyroid. There are two types of thyroid eye disease treatment: open and endoscopic. Endoscopic surgery is relatively non-invasive and can be done in less than half an hour, whereas open surgery takes longer. The endoscope is a thin, flexible tube that is introduced into the body via the anus. It is passed through the stomach and then around the exterior of the thighs and then, through the navel. A light is attached to the endoscope thus enabling it to clearly view the thyroid gland and other parts of the body. Read More : https://bit.ly/2Usdhr5 Coherent Market Insights
