Algeria is witnessing a remarkable increase in thyroid diseases, foremost of which is the “Hashemoto” disease, noting that there is a close link between this height and the Koruna’s pandemic, according to the Algerian newspaper “Al -Shorouk”.

Dr. Asia is important, consultant in nutrition and health, that the “Hashemoto” disease is one of the most prevalent self -immune diseases, and is classified as one of the “diseases of the times”, explaining that it is the result of an immune defect that causes the body to attack the thyroid gland by mistake, which leads to a gradual disorder in its work.

She added that the disease begins silent, but it becomes exhausting over time, and one of its most prominent symptoms is: constant fatigue, weight gain despite the lack of eating, allergy to the cold and cold ends, swelling of the face and body, dry skin and hair loss, psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression.
