Hypothyroidism

• Hypothyroidism is a condition where the body has
  an insufficient amount of the thyroid hormone.
  Since the primary purpose of this hormone is to
  regulate the bodys metabolism, it is no wonder
  that this problem can have such a dramatic impact
  on the entire body. Hypothyroidism is more
  common than most people think. In fact,
  statistical averages show that approximately 10
  million Americans are suffering from this
  condition. Its difficult to find out exactly
  how many have it due to so many suffering from it
  and not even knowing it, as its symptoms can vary
  dramatically depending on the extent of hormone
  deficiency there is.

What Are the Causes of Hypothyroidism?

• There are two primary causes of hypothyroidism.
  The most common cause for thyroid failure is due
  to inflammation of the thyroid, which results in
  a large percentage of the cells of the thyroid
  ending up either damaged or dead. The second
  most common cause is due to medical treatments.
  This may be from such things as the surgical
  removal of a portion of the thyroid due to
  cancer. If the remaining cells of the thyroid
  are insufficient for the requirements of the
  body, hypothyroidism is the result.
