Aging faster with hyperhyroidism？

Posted by yuanming @yuanming, Dec 12, 2023

I'm 52 years old and still play 3 times soccer games a week. I don't feel old but my face looks much older than others. Does hyperhyroidism have anything to do with skin aging?

Did you mean hyperthyroidism?

@yuanming welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I was wondering the same as @nazleer, if you are wondering about hyperthyroidism. If you are playing soccer 3 times a week you must be quite youthful! Do you have hyperthyroidism?

Yes I mean hyperthyroidism. My hyperthyroidism is not bad. It's actually just above the border of normal. I like being a little bit hyper but don't like wrinkles LOL
