Sometimes the thyroid gland does not work properly due to events such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism – deficiency and excess of hormones, in that order. Failure to treat hypothyroidism can cause several health problems such as excessive fatigue, depression, constipation, irregular menstruation, memory loss, muscle pain, dry skin, hair loss, weight gain, high blood cholesterol and other symptoms. On the other hand, untreated hyperthyroidism can lead to equally serious consequences such as tachycardia, heart failure, osteoporosis and other symptoms. To diagnose both diseases, people need to have periodic blood tests to check the levels of thyroid hormones T3 and T4, as well as the hormone TSH, which is produced in the brain and regulates the thyroid. Treatment for both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism is done with control medications prescribed by the endocrinologist, who also monitors the patient through blood tests. ------------- Dr. Maithe P.
