Hypoparathyroidism

Hypoparathyroidism is a medical condition where the parathyroid glands, which are small glands in the neck, do not produce enough parathyroid hormone. This hormone is crucial for regulating calcium levels in the blood. Low levels of this hormone can lead to low blood calcium, causing symptoms like muscle cramps, tingling sensations, and fatigue. People with hypoparathyroidism may experience complications, including bone problems. Treatment typically involves calcium and vitamin D supplements to help maintain normal calcium levels in the body. Managing the condition often requires regular medical follow-up to monitor calcium levels and adjust treatment as needed.
