Hypothyroidism treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Hypothyroidism is the reduced activity of the thyroid gland, which stops producing enough hormones to regulate metabolism. This causes many of the body's functions to slow down.

Frequent symptoms:

• Fatigue, drowsiness and feeling cold
• Weight gain and dry skin
• Constipation and changes in mood

When to see a doctor? With persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain or cold intolerance, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The study of hypothyroidism is done by the endocrinologist, with support from the general practitioner or the internist for follow-up. Getting evaluated helps you understand how the thyroid works and clear up doubts with reliable information.
