We actually have a gland in our throat that looks like a butterfly. The name of this gland is thyroid gland. Thyroid hormone is released from this gland. This hormone performs several important functions in the body. Therefore, if the level of this hormone varies in the body, major complications arise.
When the thyroid gland cannot produce enough thyroid hormones, the problem is called hypothyroidism. It is best not to identify this problem early. Otherwise multiple complications can take root in the body. So without further delay let's know the A, A, A, B of this disease.

What causes?
Autoimmune problems are mainly behind this disease. In this case, the body's immune system becomes unnecessarily active and creates problems. This is why so many kingdoms started to emerge. It can also be caused by thyroid surgery, radiation therapy, or diseases like thyroiditis. There are even some medications that can control the movement of the thyroid in the body. May even cause hypothyroidism. So be careful in all aspects.

There is no end to the problem
Thyroid problems should never be taken lightly. In this case, the affected patient may suffer from problems like goiter, heart problems, peripheral neuropathy, infertility and birth defects in the child. Therefore, as soon as possible, the symptoms of this disease should be recognized and consulted by a doctor. Only then can the disease be brought back in time.

Thyroid disease is diagnosed only through a blood test. In this case, if the thyroid level is low in the body, oral medicine is given. This medicine contains thyroid hormone.
