The symptoms of hypothyroidism are usually very subtle and develop gradually,
most often over a period of years. Every individual experiences symptoms
differently, and will present with various combinations of symptoms.
Hypothyroidism is typically diagnosed through the use of blood tests.
However, since blood tests are not 100% accurate and because of the complexity
of the condition, doctors may also use clinical symptoms and other tests
such as a 24-hour urine test in order to reach a diagnosis. Once a diagnosis
of hypothyroidism has been determined, the patient will begin thyroid
replacement therapy through the use of synthetic thyroid hormone or natural
dessicated thyroid extract. This section examines the tests used in the
diagnosis of hypothyroidism and the treatments available.
There are a number of illnesses that present themselves in conjunction
with hypothyroidism. These include Candida, autoimmune disorders, and
fibromyalgia, to name a few.
A major endocrine gland, your thyroid is a very sensitive and complicated
machine. Learn more about a proper diet, nutrition, and specific supplements
and how they can help your condition.
