Hypothyroidism is a chronic pathological condition that affects the thyroid gland. In this condition, the thyroid gland does not produce enough of certain significant hormones (T4 and T3). It is more common among women aged over 60 years old. The thyroid gland dysfunction can be clinically evident or subclinical.
Diagnosis of Real Causes & Treatment of Hypothyroidism
:
– Gradual restoration of cellular function
– Personalized therapeutic protocols, without chemical residues and excipients
– Treating the real causes
– Therapeutic formulas that work alone or in combination with any other medication
– Adopting a Molecular / Therapeutic Nutrition Plan
Hypothyroidism can coexist along with autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and type 1 Diabetes. Patients suffering from hypothyroidism need to take daily a synthetic form of the hormones that the thyroid gland is under-producing.
The symptoms that usually lead a physician to test for Hypothyroidism, include dizziness, skin dryness, weight gain, constipation, fatigue, irregular period, palpitations, increased sensitivity to cold or hoarse voice.
Your Online Health Specialist will address a series of targeted questions to you, to assess whether your symptoms could be indicative of Hypothyroidism. Then your specialist may recommend a specialized blood and antibodies test, a thyroid gland ultrasound or other molecular-level diagnostic tests to confirm the diagnosis. Your personalized treatment plan will be based upon the diagnostic tests results, the symptoms described and your medical history overall.
In the early stages of the disease, symptoms may not be noticeable. The symptoms that usually lead a physician to test for Hypothyroidism, include dizziness, skin dryness, weight gain, constipation, fatigue, irregular period, palpitations, goiter, impaired memory, muscle weakness, muscle/joint pain, increased sensitivity to cold or hoarse voice.
Since the symptoms are highly variable and non-specific, the only way for someone to find out whether hypothyroidism is present, is through a TSH blood test.
Large population studies have shown that 0.3-0.4% of the population may suffer from over hypothyroidism. The percentage for subclinical hypothyroidism increases to 4.3-8.5%.
Hypothyroidism is more common among women aged over 60 years old, but it can begin at any age. The thyroid gland dysfunction can be clinically evident or subclinical (early and mild form of the disease).
Hypothyroidism can coexist along with autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and type 1 Diabetes and most commonly with Hashimoto thyroiditis (production of auto-antibodies against the thyroid gland).
Other risk factors include a positive thyroid disease family history, treatment with radioactive iodine, partial thyroidectomy and exposure to irradiation (neck and upper chest areas).
The usual treatment of Hypothyroidism includes medicines that regulate the levels of TSH. Dosage is usually regulated according to the levels of TSH.
In most cases, patients need to take medicines throughout their lifetime.
This can impact the patients’ psychology as they feel that the disease can never be treated effectively. Many patients express concerns about the effects medicines may have on their health in the long run.
