Thyroid Hormone Deficiency
Thyroid hormone deficiency occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormone to maintain the normal pace of metabolism. As this production decreases, many of the body's processes work more slowly.
Common symptoms: tiredness, feeling cold, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, and difficulty concentrating.
Common causes: it is usually linked to autoimmune disorders of the thyroid, iodine deficiency, or a history of treatments on the gland.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the one who studies thyroid function; in addition, support from a nutritionist is useful to help with eating habits. If you notice several of these symptoms in a sustained way, it is worth discussing it with a health professional.
