Hypothyroid patients

Hypothyroid patients have an underactive thyroid gland that produces insufficient thyroid hormones. These hormones regulate many body functions, including metabolism, energy levels, and temperature. When levels are low, symptoms can include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, and depression. Causes may include autoimmune conditions, iodine deficiency, or thyroid surgery. Diagnosis is typically through blood tests measuring hormone levels. Treatment usually involves daily thyroid hormone replacement therapy, which helps restore normal body functions and improve symptoms. Managing hypothyroidism effectively allows most individuals to lead healthy, balanced lives.
