Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid or impaired production of thyroid hormone) is a condition of insufficient thyroid hormone in the body. It develops when the thyroid gland fails to produce as much thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyroxine (T3) as the body needs.

The main purpose of hormones produced by the thyroid gland is to "run the body's metabolism," and so, it is understandable that people with this hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid would have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism causing damage to organs and tissues of every part of the body and leading to life threatening complications.

Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid or impaired production of thyroid hormone) is one of the most common chronic diseases in the developed countries like the United States, United Kingdom and so on and it is now becoming common even in developing countries like India, China and so on.

This condition is believed to affect as many as 11 million adults and children, yet 2 out of every 3 people with hypothyroidism may not know they have the disease. Symptoms may not appear until years after the thyroid has stopped functioning and they are often mistaken for signs of other illnesses, menopause and ageing.

Hypothyroidism is at least twice as common in women as it is in men. It is most common in women who are middle aged or older, yet the disease can occur at any age.

• Chronic Autoimmune Thyroiditis (Hashimoto's thyroiditis) : A form of thyroid inflammation caused by damage to thyroid tissue.
• Autoimmune diseases : You are at more risk for hypothyroidism if you have diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, addison's disease, diabetes and so on.
• Surgery : Removal of a part or all of the thyroid is another cause.
• Radioactive iodine therapy.
• Secondary Hypothyroidism : Disorders of pituitary and hypothalamus leading to thyroid hormone deficiency in addition to other hormonal imbalances.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid or impaired production of thyroid hormone) mainly depend upon the severity of the hormone deficiency and its duration. For most patients, the symptoms are mild and can often be confused with other problems. The symptoms may include :

• Fatigue, lethargy
• Weight gain
• Hair loss
• Constipation
• Muscle aches
• Menstrual irregularities
• Cold intolerance
• Dry, rough, pale skin
• Coarse dry hair
• Depression
• Decreased concentration
• Irritability
• Slower mental processes
• Muscle cramps
• Slow heart rate
• Tingling or numbness in the hands

If left untreated, hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid or impaired production of thyroid hormone) can lead to several other health issues :

• Goitre : Enlargement of thyoid gland resulting in a swelling in the throat, swallowing and breathing problems.
• Heart ailments.
• Mental health : Depression.
• Myxoedema : A life threatening condition which results due to prolonged, severe, untreated hypothyroidism.
• Infertility and miscarriages.
• Babies born to women with untreated thyroid disease may have a higher risk of birth defects. These kids are also more prone to serious intellectual and developmental problems.

• Diagnosis can be established on the results of tests done to measure the level of T4 and TSH hormones in the blood. Usually thyroid profile is ordered. For Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Anti-TPO antibody testing is done.
• When you are hypothyroid, higher quantities of TSH are circulating in your blood, as your body attempts to foster increased production of thyroid hormones.
• USG (Ultrasonongraphy) of the neck and thyroid can be used to detect any nodules and infiltrative disease/s.

For many people, the Shoulder Stand position, at least once daily for 20 minutes, can help improve overall thyroid function.

Lie on your back and lift your legs up so your hips are off the floor. Then, supporting your hips with your hands, extend your legs vertically and slide your hands along your torso toward your shoulders, with your thumbs at the front of your body and fingers at the back. Make sure your body weight is supported by your shoulders, not your head and neck.
