Dr. Hossam Muwafi, professor of critical cases at the Faculty of Medicine of Qasr Al -Aini, revealed a set of health symptoms that may appear simple, but it carries serious indicators on the presence of chronic diseases or immune disorders that require urgent medical intervention.
“The mouth ulcers are common among many people, and they may be dealt with at the beginning as a transient matter, but sometimes it is an early indication of deeper health problems.”
Professor of critical cases stressed that the emergence of these ulcers in conjunction with other symptoms such as unjustified weight loss and persistent sweating may reflect a person with an imbalance in the immune system or a disorder in gland functions, stressing that the real risk lies in ignoring these warning signs.
Muwafi continued, explaining that losing weight significantly without a clear justification may be an indication of an increase in the activity of the thyroid gland, which reflects negatively on the health of the body in general.
He pointed out that the hyperthyroidism of the thyroid gland directly affects the metabolism in the body, and leads to energy consumption at excessive, which causes general weakness and disturbance in the functions of several organs, which requires the speed of examination and careful medical diagnosis.
Muwafi pointed out that there are clear signs that can alert the patient to the presence of a defect in the thyroid gland, the most prominent of which are severe and continuous sweating, a clear acceleration in the heartbeat, and a noticeable and unjustified loss of weight.
