Graves' disease, which is associated with hyperthyroidism and goiter.  HYPOthyroidism is associated with atrophy of the thyroid gland rather than enlargement.

The prefix 'hypo' means less than normal. 'Hyper' mean more than normal. So hypothyroidism means that the thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormone. Symptoms are usually fatigue, intolerance to cold, sluggishness, constipation, dry skin and hair and diminished basal metabolic rate. A typical medication for this is synthroid which will most likely need to be taken indefinitely. \n\nHyperthyroidism means the thyroid gland is making too much thyroid hormone. The most common cause is Graves Disease. Symptoms are papitations, nervousness, anxiety, depression, increased metabolism, weight loss, and psychological disturbances. The cause of the excessive increased hormone must be determined but typically the thyroid gland is removed and the patient is placed on a thyroid replacement med (Synthroid). \n\nIn answer to your question, once the hyperthyroidism is determined and if the treatment is a thyroidectomy, yes, both individuals will be on the same medication to regulate the serum levels of thyroid hormone.

Good morning, dearheart. Good for you. here's my take on gay marriage. I've been married to the same wonderful lady for the last 26 years. She drives OTR semi for a living and I'm a housewife. We both wear wedding rings and feel as married as the next heterosexual couple but I can get none of her health benefits. How my union is hurting society I can't fathom as our relationship has been monogamous for all of it's 26 years and that same union has lasted longer than many heterosexual marriages. There are couples on the LGBTQ site here that have been together for over 40 years (which is a great thing in its own right) How can their love be hurting anyone? Good luck and Blessings on you.

I am a therapist and I know exactly what you are going through. I have treated many couples with this problem. Fifteen to twenty times a week is a bit excessive and that places you guys in the top 5% statistically. It is 100% humanly possible and normal to have sex many times a week as you describe. Now, what is not normal is that by doing so you submit your body to great discomfort. Sex is meant to be an enjoyable experience. If 15 to 20 times a week is not enough for your husband then that reveals that he definitely has a problem that needs to be addressed. If he is not taking any stimulating substance to increase his libido, which he obviously does not need, he is currently going through a chemical imbalance. He may or may not require medical treatment at the organic level. From what you described about him, I don't think he requires any psychological evaluation. Prepare a nice dinner for the two of you. Talk this out with him. Explain to him how you feel and how your current sexual activities are interfering with your body and your ability to function normally in daily life. Ask him if he has taken any substance that may have caused this change in behavior. Also mention to him that you would love to have sex with him at the rate of 15 to 20 times weekly that you are comfortable with. I am sure that he will understand.

I think sexulity is a natural neeed of every human. You can never say that it is a need of single one. But as a Profesional doctor i can say in sexulity the long pleasure is necessary. If you are unable to keep long pleasure then u are unsucessful to keep happy your wife. Sexual health refers to the many factors that impact sexual function and reproduction. These factors include a variety of physical, mental and emotional issues. Disorders that affect any of these factors can impact a person's physical and emotional health, as well as his or her relationships and self-image.\nFor more information go at:

You didn't say how old he is or how long you've been married.\n\nYou should talk to him about how much you miss the physical closeness because you love him so much, and ask that he please see a doctor, if not for his own sake, then for yours.  ED is probably a lot more common in men than they will admit.\n\nWhile stress or external factors can interfere with sexual desire and performance, it is also possible that a serious medical condition exists.  Perhaps it's something easily treatable, and getting a diagnosis can relieve his mind and improve the quality of your marriage.  On the other hand, it could be due to a serious condition, such as prostate cancer, and delaying a diagnosis because of assuming it's just stress or because of fear of hearing bad news can be deadly.  Problems only get worse when you don't face and resolve them.\n\nThis is one time when it's okay to nag your husband.  Men are notorious for neglecting their health by failing to seek appropriate medical care, and trying to "tough" things out.  It's not just about the sex; it's about his health.\n\nBest wishes.

If you suspect that you have hyperthyroidism, you should really see a doctor.  You shouldn't depend on the looney-tunes here on Yahoo! Answers.  But if you just want background information:\n\nHyperthyroidism:\n\nCauses:  Hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis occurs when the thyroid releases too many of its hormones over a short (acute) or long (chronic) period of time. Many diseases and conditions can cause this problem, including:\n\n    * Graves' disease\n    * Non-cancerous growths of the thyroid gland or pituitary gland\n    * Tumors of the testes or ovaries\n    * Inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the thyroid due to viral infections or other causes\n    * Ingestion of excessive amounts of thyroid hormone\n    * Ingestion of excessive iodine\n\nGraves' disease accounts for 85% of all cases of hyperthyroidism.\n\nSymptoms:\n    * Weight loss\n    * Increased appetite\n    * Nervousness\n    * Restlessness\n    * Heat intolerance\n    * Increased sweating\n    * Fatigue\n    * Frequent bowel movements\n    * Menstrual irregularities in women\n    * Goiter (visibly enlarged thyroid) may be present\n\nTreatment:  Treatment varies depending on the cause of the condition and the severity of symptoms. Hyperthyroidism is usually treated with antithyroid medications, radioactive iodine (which destroys the thyroid and thus stops the excess production of hormones), or surgery to remove the thyroid.\n\nIf the thyroid must be removed with radiation or surgery, replacement thyroid hormones must be taken for the rest of the person's life.\n\nBeta-blockers like propranolol are used to treat some of the symptoms including rapid heart rate, sweating, and anxiety until the hyperthyroidism can be controlled.\n\nP.S.  I'm not a doctor.  All of this information is from publicly available sources on the internet.

I think that you are describing a conditions known as Inhibited sexual desire (ISD). The person with ISD fails to initiate or respond to their partner's desire for sexual activity.\nISD is a very common sexual disorder. The most common cause of ISD seems to be relationship problems wherein one partner does not feel emotionally intimate or close to their mate.\nCommunication problems, health problems such as depression, insomnia, excessive stress.\nTreatment is required by the professional therapist and it depends on the eliminating causes listed above.

Jill, God there are some crap answers here!\n\nRight off, let me say that I am bipolar and was diagnosed about a year and a half ago. My meds are working excellently and there is no reason that yours should not either.\n\nTo answer your question: yes, absolutely. Hypersexuality (an increased need for sex) is a classic symptom of bipolar mania or hypomania. The definition of Bipolar Disorder is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_diagnostic_criteria_for_bipolar_disorder  for what it's worth.\n\nSo in response to all the answers calling you a s!ut and irresponsible, ignore them. Right now you are ill and need treatment. Your behaviour is a symptom, not the way you are.\n\nI'd like to suggest that you come and discuss this with other sufferers - there are many online support groups, bu the two I use are http://www.crazyboards.org (don't be put off by the name!) and http://z9.invisionfree.com/Bipolar_Haven

As i understand your questions, u r saing that you hadnt the disorder before your marriage.\nIf that is true, and you dont have any medical conditions that can have an effect on your sexual functioning (diabetes, hipertension, some weird uncommon neurological diseases), and you dont do drugs (legal or ilegal) It is a psychological problem. How is your partner taking it? is your partner supportive? You can buy a self help book called "the premature ejaculation" by Helen Singer Kaplan, its quite old but it has some great sex-cersises for the condition. \nWas the PE first or second? if u began with the PE, by the time you overcome it the ED with recede too. \nViagra seems to be a good option, but it will only help u with the ED. If u plan to use it consult your physician first.\nIf the book doesnt work, find a sex therapist, it will help.\nGood luck

None!\nOtherwise we all should have problem or be impotent even!\nOn the contrary, scientists says that a regular sexual life (mastu*bation too) helps the reproductive system to keep healthy and increase the performance (desire) too.\nSomebody even plays more time in a day according his exigency and need.\nSo, don’t worry for that, while you only ought to care to don’t become too much addicted.\nMastu*bation is a normal event, and with the age and stable relations, decreases till vanish.

Yes it can...talk to some happily married couples that have been married for 40 or so years -- they will tell you...but like anything the love has to be allowed to grow and maintained...\nPart of it is the release of the bodies chemicals==

The best treatment for hypothyroidism is thyroxine. Your wife is still on quite a small dose. Some cases may have an underlying auto-immune cause, which is worth looking into. Simple blood tests for these auto-antibodies can cause this. Serious causes are rare.

Possibly a problem with the thyroid gland.
