Hypothyroidism isn’t a problem isolated to your thyroid. Because the gland plays such a vital role in many aspects of your health, hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, can lead to other conditions.
Fortunately, some complications of hypothyroidism can be prevented simply by restoring normal thyroid hormone levels with a daily pill. But other complications require extra vigilance. Reduce your health risks by knowing about the health concerns related to hypothyroidism, and the signs and symptoms of each. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a difference — it may even save your life.
