Hormonal Health Shield

The thyroid gland is a small but extremely important organ that is responsible for the functioning of almost all systems of our body. The peculiarities of our region, poor in iodine, as well as the accident at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, have made the problem of thyroid diseases more relevant.

That is why, according to the ecological platform of the Rivne Medical Academy, a scientific and educational event “Hormonal Health Shield” was held yesterday, dedicated to discussing the most common diseases, methods of prevention and the importance of timely diagnosis.

In particular, those present recalled the structure and purpose of the thyroid gland, discussed the intricacies of its work and the consequences of the Chornobyl accident, got acquainted with the most common diseases that arise due to disruption of the functioning of this organ, and did not forget about prevention.

The speech of the practitioner - endocrinologist Liliia Krasko, who once again emphad the need for timely diagnosis of the body, was significant and interesting for those present. And the chief medical nurse of “Yuvileinyi” Central Primary Health Center, Iryna Khusnullina, noted that modern doctors should not stop developing and training.

A healthy thyroid gland is our "little guardian" of hormonal health, and it is important to listen to the signals of our own body. Let's continue to develop environmental and medical awareness together!
