Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)
Hypothyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces insufficient hormones, leading to slow metabolism and fatigue. Treatment involves hormone replacement therapy.
Detailed Explanation
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones. This slows down the body’s metabolic processes and leads to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, depression, and cold sensitivity. The most common cause is Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Other causes include iodine deficiency, certain medications, and thyroid surgery.
Diagnosis:
- Blood tests to check TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) and free T4 levels.
Treatment:
- Daily thyroid hormone replacement therapy, usually with levothyroxine.
