Hypothyroidism

Common symptoms of an underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, include fatigue, weight gain, and feelings of depression.

The primary treatment for hypothyroidism involves taking daily hormone replacement tablets to compensate for the hormones that the thyroid gland is not producing adequately.

Medication prescribed by a doctor is typically the mainstay of hypothyroidism treatment. It is important to note that these medications may have potential side effects that can affect the body.

In addition to medical treatment, complementary therapies such as acupuncture may help improve symptoms and support overall well-being. Yoga, known for its relaxation benefits, may also have a positive impact by potentially increasing blood flow to the thyroid gland and boosting the immune system. It is advisable to consult with healthcare professionals to discuss the most appropriate treatment options for managing hypothyroidism.
