What is hypothyroidism?!?!


Question: What is hypothyroidism?!?
I read some where about it and wanted to know what it is! Thx in advance!

Answers:

Hypothyroidism is a condition characterized by abnormally low thyroid hormone production. There are many disorders that result in hypothyroidism. These disorders may directly or indirectly involve the thyroid gland. Because thyroid hormone affects growth, development, and many cellular processes, inadequate thyroid hormone has widespread consequences for the body. From tcmdiscovery.com



Basically underactive thyroid function. It is that the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to regulate certain processes in the body, it is caused by damage to the cells in the thyroid gland from inflammation or autoimmune diseases (where the body's immune system attacks and destroys other body cells).



an underactive throid gland.



A big word.
