Hypothyroidism, also called an underactive thyroid, is when the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones control the way your body uses energy; so, they affect nearly every organ in your body, even the way your heart beats. Without enough thyroid hormones, many of your body’s functions slow down.
A 45-year-old male from Latur, Maharashtra, Mr. L. P. K. (PIN: 36641) started online treatment at Life Force for an underactive thyroid on 22nd April 2021.
His underactive thyroid was diagnosed in September 2019 when he had swelling in his both legs, lethargy, weight gain of 4 kg, and mood swings.
Associated Diseases: Lichen planus and Uveitis were his associated diseases.
