Whether it's Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism, there is a possibility of cholesterol abnormalities. Symptoms like constipation don’t necessarily mean the problem lies only in the stomach. Similarly, even if you have loose stools, it’s not always a simple digestive issue. These could be signs of a hormonal imbalance. If a hormonal problem like thyroid disorder is accurately diagnosed and treated, the symptoms can be managed effectively. In the case of Hypothyroidism, hormone supplements (like levothyroxine) are recommended to compensate for the underactive thyroid. In Hyperthyroidism, instead of giving hormone supplements, medications that reduce the overproduction of thyroid hormones are prescribed. The key is proper diagnosis and timely treatment — once that’s done, recovery is very much possible. Login Login 0 repins 0 comments 0 likes
