A prospective study of bowel frequency in patients with thyroid disease showed increased frequency of bowel action in thyrotoxicosis and decreased frequency in myxoedema. The contrary findings of previous studies may be due to the use of inexact criteria in interrogation of the patients.
一项关于甲状腺疾病患者排便频率的前瞻性研究表明，甲状腺毒症患者的排便次数增加，而黏液性水肿患者的排便次数减少。先前研究的相反结果可能是由于在询问患者时使用了不精确的标准。
