Hypofunction of the thyroid gland

Written by: Ahmad Nazir Sikandari

The thyroid gland is one of the important organs of the human body, located in the lower part of the neck, and its function is to produce hormones for the normal functioning of body cells.

Hypothyroidism is one of the most common diseases of this gland that can affect people at any age, but it affects females more.

In this disease, the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones to enter blood bloodstream, which slows down metabolic reactions and, as a result, slows down metabolism.

The most common signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism are fatigue, overweight, and cold intolerance.
