Primary Hypothyroidism
Primary hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland, located in the neck, produces an insufficient amount of thyroid hormones, which regulate numerous functions of the body.
Frequent symptoms: it is usually associated with fatigue, feeling cold, dry skin, slowness and, in children, possible effects on growth and development.
Origin: the problem lies in the thyroid gland itself, which fails to meet the body's hormonal needs.
Who treats it? In the pediatric age its assessment falls to the pediatrician and the pediatric endocrinologist, who follow up on development. When suggestive symptoms or abnormal tests appear, it's advisable to review the case with a professional who guides care.
