Hypothyroidism

Diagnosis of an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) is made based on a combination of thyroid blood test results, symptoms and several other factors.

Hypothyroidism, if left untreated or poorly controlled, can progress and cause some serious complications. When you understand the symptoms and get regular screenings, it will help prevent the onset of the complications. 

Hypothyroidism is usually quite a simple disease to treat.

Hypothyroidism is a condition that occurs when your thyroid gland is underactive and does not produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormone.
