Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough crucial hormones. The team of board-certified providers at the Thyroid Center of New Hampshire in St. Joseph Hospital Endocrinology in Nashua, New Hampshire, treat this very frequently. Symptoms of this condition can be easy to miss in the early stages by a primary care provider, which is why it is so important to maintain preventative blood/urine samples.

Over time, untreated hypothyroidism can cause a large number of health problems, including obesity, joint pain, infertility, and heart disease. The signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism can vary from patient to patient, as well as the severity of the condition. Some of these symptoms include:

  • Fatigue
  • Increased sensitivity to cold
  • Constipation
  • Weight gain
  • Puffy face
  • Thinning hair
  • Muscle aches, tenderness, and stiffness
  • Dry skin
