Frequent symptoms: Fatigue, feeling cold, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, low mood and, at times, difficulty concentrating.
Common causes: One of the most frequent is inflammation of the thyroid of immune origin; it can also follow previous treatments on the gland.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the professional who studies and follows up on hypothyroidism, often with support from the internist. If you have several of these symptoms persistently, it's advisable to discuss it with a specialist.
