Underactive Thyroid
An underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, occurs when the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones.
This can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity. Diagnosis involves blood tests to measure hormone levels.
Treatment typically involves hormone replacement therapy to restore thyroid function.
Regular monitoring and adjustments to medication are necessary for managing hypothyroidism effectively.
