Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition where your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough hormones. It affects up to 15% of Americans, and is 6 times more common in women than men.

Untreated hypothyroidism can cause a number of health problems, including high cholesterol, heart disease, infertility and depression. A few simple blood tests can help diagnose hypothyroidism.

Diagnosing Hypothyroidism

Are you feeling especially fatigued or have unexplained weight gain? If your provider suspects that you may have hypothyroidism based on your symptoms, past medical history, and family history, they will ask you to complete an initial blood test screening for thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).
