DESCRIPTION

Thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. This gland produces hormones that regulate body ’s energy use, along with many other important functions. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid is underactive. When thyroid hormone production drops, body ’s processes slow down and change. Hypothyroidism can affect metabolism, mental functions, energy level and bowel movements. Depending on how low the thyroid hormone production drops, symptoms might be mild to severe.

Hypothyroidism can affect many different systems in the body, including cardiovascular, nervous, respiratory and digestive system.

• Hypothyroidism slows the heart rate and weakens heartbeat, making the heart less efficient at pumping blood out to the body. This can shorten the breath during exercise. By narrowing the arteries, this condition can also raise blood pressure. Hypothyroidism can lead to high cholesterol. Together, high blood pressure and high cholesterol can increase the risk for heart disease.
• Untreated hypothyroidism can change how the nerves carry information to and from the brain, spinal cord, and body. This can cause a condition called peripheral neuropathy. Its symptoms include numbness, tingling, pain, or burning in the affected parts of the body.
• Too little thyroid hormone weakens the muscles which are used to breathe and makes lungs work less efficiently. This results in shortness of breath or trouble while exercising.
• Hypothyroidism also makes it more likely to develop sleep apnea, which are pauses in breathing that happen during sleep.
• Hypothyroidism slows the movement of food through stomach and intestines. Slowed digestion can lead to symptoms like heartburn, constipation, and bloating.
• Women with hypothyroidism may have irregular periods, heavy periods, or missed periods. They can have trouble getting pregnant or be more likely to have a miscarriage if they do get pregnant.
• Because too little thyroid hormone slows body ’s metabolism, it can cause general symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance and swelling of hands and feet.
• A lack of thyroid hormone can leave the skin dry and pale. It can also affect the control of body temperature, making you sweat less than usual. The hair, including the hair on the scalp and along the outer edges of eyebrows can become thin. Nails may look different and become brittle.

Hypothyroidism can affect every part of the body, from your brain to your skin. Yet the condition is different in everyone. Some people have mild symptoms while others have more severe symptoms. Taking medication is important so you can manage this condition and its symptoms and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of Thyroid gland?

Thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. This gland produces hormones that regulate body’s metabolism or energy use, along with many other vital body functions, including:

• Breathing
• Heart rate
• Central and peripheral nervous systems
• Body weight
• Muscle strength
• Menstrual cycles
• Body temperature
• Cholesterol levels

What are the health problems related to Thyroid Gland or Thyroid Hormones?

The thyroid gland uses iodine from the foods we eat to make two main hormones:

• Triiodothyronine (T3)
• Thyroxine (T4)

It is important that T3 and T4 levels are neither too high nor too low. Two glands in the brain, the hypothalamus and the pituitary communicate to maintain their balance. The hypothalamus produces TSH Releasing Hormone (TRH) that signals the pituitary to tell the thyroid gland to produce more or less of T3 and T4 by either increasing or decreasing the release of a hormone called thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), thereby maintaining the balance.

However, there are several disorders associated with the thyroid gland with most problems concerning the production of thyroid hormones. Either the thyroid gland produces too much hormone (called hyperthyroidism) or the thyroid doesn't produce enough hormone (called hypothyroidism), resulting in the body using energy faster or slower than it should.

What are the Symptoms of Hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism can affect every part of the body, from your brain to your skin. Yet the condition is different in everyone. Some people have mild symptoms while others have more severe symptoms.

• Hypothyroidism slows the heart rate and weakens heartbeat, making the heart less efficient at pumping blood out to the body. This can shorten the breath during exercise. By narrowing the arteries, this condition can also raise blood pressure. Hypothyroidism can lead to high cholesterol. Together, high blood pressure and high cholesterol can increase the risk for heart disease.

What are the Causes of Hypothyroidism?

Primary hypothyroidism is caused by a problem with the thyroid gland itself. Secondary hypothyroidism occurs when there are problems with the pituitary gland or hypothalamus makes the thyroid underactive.

Some of the causes are enlisted below:

• Hashimoto's thyroiditis: It is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. It is an autoimmune disorder, in which the body produces antibodies that attack and destroy the thyroid gland. Thyroiditis may also be caused by a viral infection.
• Radiotherapy: Radiation on the neck area during cancer therapy destroys the thyroid gland.
• Thyroid Surgery: Removal of the thyroid gland, partial or complete, leads to hypothyroidism.
• Too little Iodine Intake: The thyroid needs iodine to produce thyroid hormone, which it gets from food.
• Congenital Hypothyroidism: Some babies may be born with a thyroid gland that did not develop correctly or does not work properly.
• Pituitary gland damage or disorder:Rarely, a problem with the pituitary gland can interfere with the production of thyroid hormone
• Disorder of the hypothalamus:An extremely rare form of hypothyroidism can occur if the hypothalamus in the brain does not produce enough of the hormone TRH. TRH affects the release of TSH from the pituitary gland.

• Radioactive iodine treatment: This treatment is commonly prescribed to people who have an overactive thyroid gland, a condition known as hyperthyroidism. However, radiation destroys the cells in the thyroid gland which usually leads to hypothyroidism.

What are the Complications of Hypothyroidism?

If hypothyroidism is left untreated it can lead to a number of health problems:

• Goiter-Constant stimulation of your thyroid to release more hormones may cause the gland to become larger, a condition known as a goiter.
• Heart problems-Hypothyroidism may also be associated with an increased risk of heart disease and heart failure, due to high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.
• Mental health issues- Hypothyroidism can cause depression and slowed mental functioning.
• Peripheral neuropathy-Peripheral neuropathy (damage to peripheral nerves) may cause pain, numbness and tingling in affected areas.
• Myxedema-This rare, life-threatening condition is the result of long-term, undiagnosed hypothyroidism. Its signs and symptoms include intense cold intolerance and drowsiness followed by profound lethargy and unconsciousness.
• Infertility-Low levels of thyroid hormone can interfere with ovulation, which impairs fertility.
• Birth defects-Babies born to women with untreated thyroid disease may have a higher risk of birth defects compared to babies born to healthy mothers.
