Thyroid is a gland situated in front of your neck. It secretes thyroid hormones. It maintains basal metabolic rate of your body. When the level of this secretion drops below the normal level you get the metabolic disorder known as hypothyroidism. In such a condition the patient becomes lethargic as the body movements slow down and the patient suffers from constipation . She prefers heat over cold. Her heart rate decreases. She gets non-pitting oedema (i.e. myxoedema) and her face looks puffy. Menstrual disorders is another common issue in hypothyroidism.
