Thyroid disorders tend to run in families, therefore it is usually hereditary. It is caused when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. This under-production of hormones slows down the body\u2019s metabolism, often leaving patients feeling cold, tired and depressed.\u00a0\u00a0If you suffer from hypothyroidism then you are also likely to notice you have gained weight, despite following a sensible diet and exercising regularly, along with other uncomfortable symptoms.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][wyde_heading style=&#8221;5&#8243; title=&#8221;Consequences of Hypothyroidism&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The symptoms of hypothyroidism are unpleasant and can affect a person\u2019s self-esteem, work, home and family life.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullet_class\">\n<li>Fatigue\/drowsiness<\/li>\n<li>Cold intolerance<\/li>\n<li>Weight gain or increased difficulty losing weight (despite a sensible diet and exercise)<\/li>\n<li>Depression<\/li>\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n<li>Abnormal menstrual periods or fertility problems<\/li>\n<li>Joint or muscle problems<\/li>\n<li>Thin, brittle hair and fingernails, and\/or dry flaky skin<\/li>\n<li>Decreased libido<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If left untreated, hypothyroidism can cause more serious complications and even become life-threatening.
