Hypothyroidism is a medical condition in which the thyroid gland is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland is a small gland located in the neck that produces hormones that regulate the body’s metabolism. Hypothyroidism can occur for several reasons, including autoimmune disease, iodine deficiency, radiation treatment, and certain medications. The disease gets more common with age. People over 60 years old experience it more frequently. Women are more likely to have an underactive thyroid. In fact, 1 in 8 women will develop thyroid issues.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism can include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, depression, and memory problems. Diagnosis is usually made through blood tests that measure the levels of thyroid hormones and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the body.
