Symptoms and Causes
Hypothyroidism can have a primary cause, directly affecting the thyroid and leading to low thyroid hormone production, or a secondary reason, which impacts the pituitary gland and disrupts the balance of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) signaling to the thyroid. It can be due to an autoimmune disease like Hashimoto’s or thyroid diseases like hyperthyroidism or thyroiditis. Secondary causes usually involve disruptions in the pituitary gland’s function. Symptoms of hypothyroidism are as follows:
- Fatigue
- Numbness and tingling in the hands

- Weight gain
- Soreness and muscle weakness
- Elevated blood cholesterol levels
- Depression
- Sensitivity to cold temperatures
- Dry, coarse skin and hair
- Decreased sexual interest
- Heavy and frequent menstrual periods
