Advanced Alternative Treatment for Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the thyroid gland though it does not destroy the tissue, rather it results in an underproduction of thyroxine, the hormone made in the thyroid that regulates metabolism and controls many bodily functions such as digestion. This disease is more common in women than in men. The cause of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis is not fully understood but a family history of thyroid disorders is common in those with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, indicating some kind of genetic link or predisposition.
Symptoms of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
The symptoms of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis include weight gain, fatigue, general or specific muscle weakness, high cholesterol, an increased sensitivity to cold, migraines, dry or brittle hair sometimes leading to hair loss, and a heavy menstrual flow in women. Hyprotyroidism can be a result of a case of untreated Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis. Some people who develop Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis demonstrate no outward symptoms of the disease.
