Model and actress Jang Yoon-ju confessed that she has been receiving treatment for hypothyroidism for 15 years. Hypothyroidism refers to a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce thyroid hormones well and the concentration of thyroid hormones in the body is reduced.

Jang Yoon-ju said at the premiere of the movie ‘Citizen Deok-hee’ held at CGV Yongsan I-Park Mall in Yongsan-gu, Seoul on the 11th, “Actually, it has been over 15 years since I took medication for hypothyroidism. “She is a woman without hormones,” he said. “My doctor always says, ‘You shouldn’t use that much energy and tension on TV.’”

According to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency’s National Health Information Portal, hypothyroidism is a disease caused by a lack of thyroid hormone, which regulates the body’s metabolic rate. The thyroid gland is an endocrine organ located in the front of the neck. Its job is to produce thyroid hormones by receiving signals from thyroid-stimulating hormone secreted by the pituitary gland in the brain. When this function is not performed properly, hypothyroidism occurs.

In the case of hypothyroidism, the basal metabolic rate decreases, causing the body to become swollen and dull, causing weight gain, rough skin, and symptoms of coldness. It is known that in most cases, hypothyroidism progresses slowly and the problem is not noticeable. It is not much different from the discomforts easily felt in daily life, such as feeling a little tired, swelling of the hands, feet, face, etc., or indigestion. However, if left untreated, it can lead to health problems such as a slow heart rate and, in severe cases, water filling in the pericardium.

Accordingly, experts advise that if you have these symptoms or have had thyroid surgery or radioactive iodine treatment in the past, you should undergo a thyroid function test. Hypothyroidism requires continuous treatment, including thyroid hormone supplementation.

As news of Jang Yoon-ju’s hypothyroidism spread, netizens all offered words of support. “I also took medication for several years for hypothyroidism and was completely cured. “Don’t give up hope” and “Hypothyroidism makes it easy to become obese, so it’s amazing to be able to maintain your body and work as a model.”

Jang Yoon-ju said on Instagram, “Thank you for your interest,” and left hashtags such as ‘person lacking in hormones’, ‘high tension only when working’, and ‘hormone ambassador’.
