Schilddrüse oder Wechseljahre? Warum die Symptome oft verwechselt werden

Fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, brain fog, sleep disturbances, restlessness, or dry skin are often directly attributed to menopause during the perimenopause. In this video, I want to raise awareness that a closer look can be worthwhile: the thyroid gland can also play a role in similar symptoms. I explain the connection between the thyroid, perimenopause, estrogen, progesterone, and the immune system. I discuss why symptoms of thyroid dysfunction and menopausal symptoms can overlap so significantly, why Hashimoto's thyroiditis can become more noticeable during this phase of life, and which lab values ​​might be relevant during a medical evaluation. You'll also learn about the role of thyroxine-binding globulin, why hormonal fluctuations can affect the efficacy of thyroid hormones, and why the thyroid, sex hormones, gut, immune system, and nutritional status shouldn't be considered in isolation. This video is for general health education purposes and does not replace individual medical advice. Whether an examination, a therapy adjustment, or a specific treatment is right for you should always be discussed individually with qualified professionals.
