why is thyroid gland cancer more common in women then men? and what does it affect?(don't copy)
Answers
Approximately 1 in 8 women will be affected by a thyroid condition at some point in their lives. The risk for women is about 10 times higher than for men. One reason for this is that thyroid disorders are often triggered by autoimmune responses, which happen when the body's immune system starts to attack its own cells.
Another reason for the prevalence of thyroid disorders in women is that there is an interplay between thyroid hormones and the hormones that fluctuate during the menstrual cycle. Thyroid problems can happen at any time but they are especially common in women during and after the menopause when hormone levels are changing. Some women may confuse the symptoms of thyroid disorders with the effects of the menopause, which can prevent them from seeking treatment.
