Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, occurs when your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones. Since these hormones regulate metabolism, energy levels, and many essential bodily functions, an imbalance can affect your overall well-being.
If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to more serious complications, including heart issues and infertility, so it's best to speak with a specialist if you think you may have the condition.
The good news: Hypothyroidism is highly treatable by your eddii-Care endocrinologist. Book an appointment with your doctor to discover your options.
While hypothyroidism is the most common condition eddii-Care doctors see, we also regularly treat Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) and other thyroid conditions.
