What is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones, crucial for regulating metabolism and energy levels. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, and dry skin. It’s often caused by autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or iodine deficiency. Treatment involves daily thyroid hormone replacement medication to restore hormone levels. Regular monitoring and adjustments by a healthcare provider are essential for managing symptoms and ensuring overall well-being. Early detection and treatment help prevent complications like heart disease and depression.
