Hypothyroidism: Symptoms, Causes, Treatment & Medication!

Is hypothyroidism an autoimmune disease?

Also known as an underactive thyroid gland.
Hypothyroidism occurs when your thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.

Since thyroid hormones regulate your body's metabolism and temperature, when a deficiency occurs, your body has trouble using energy and staying warm. Common symptoms include fatigue, feeling cold, constipation, and slight weight gain.

Hypothyroidism is a common condition where the thyroid doesn’t create and release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream. This makes your metabolism slow down. Also called underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures. The main treatment for hypothyroidism is hormone replacement therapy.
