Hypothyroidism. (or congenital hypothyroidism)
pathophysiology of anemia in hypothyroidism
7.14 reading of TSH means that you do NOT have the correct amount of circulating thyroid hormone. See a Doctor as you most likely are suffering from hypothyroidism. It is not to be taken lightly.
Hypothyroidism does not cause mental "retardation". MR is caused by genetics usually. Hypothyroidism is treatable.
Hypothyroidism is a lack of iodine or a specific kind of salt.
Hypothyroidism is a medical condition and not a diet. Hypothyroidism prevents people from losing weight. Therefore on average people do not lose weight if they have hypothyroidism.
It's pretty rare. When it does occur it's almost always in women, although there are some exceptions.
Hypothyroidism causes you to retain water that leads to bloating.
William Gull was the first to mention hypothyroidism in a speech given in 1874. The first treatment for hypothyroidism was discovered in 1891 by George Murray.
I was always cold and tired, and a blood test showed that I had hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism means that the thyroid gland is not working at its optimal levels. The condition's severity can vary. The most severe form of hypothyroidism, Myxedema coma, is rare. In general, people suffering from hypothyroidism will experience unexplained weight gain, extreme fatigue, depression, an overall sense of weakness, sensitivity to the cold, and heavier menstrual periods in females. Most people with hypothyroidism are able to control the condition by taking medication that provides them with the missing thyroid hormone. This treatment will cause the thyroid levels to return to normal, but the replacement hormone must be taken for the rest of the individual's life.
