I n order to fully treat a disease, it is important that we fully understand what we are dealing with. So let us look at some basic facts that will help in understanding what hypothyroidism is.

So what exactly is hypothyroidism? This is a medical condition where a persons thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones, specifically triodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). In other words, it is a flaw in the endocrine system, which is supposed to regulate the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located right under the Adams apple, and its main job is to produce hormones that regulate the metabolism.

Hypothyroidism can be attributed to one main cause lack of iodine in the diet. This is a situation that is very common around the world, more so in developing countries. However, in countries where the diet contains sufficient quantities of iodine, the major cause of hypothyroidism is actually a condition referred to as chronic autoimmune thyroiditis or Hashimotos Thyroiditis. This is an auto-immune disease where your own immune cells attack and destroy your thyroid gland.

There are also other less-common causes of hypothyroidism that you should be aware of. These include pregnancies, problems with certain glands within the brain, thyroid removal surgeries, and trauma to the thyroid gland.

If you happen to be suffering from hypothyroidism, the first thing that you will notice is that your metabolism is really slow and you are constantly fatigued. When the disease strikes children, it typically leads to slow growth and poor intellectual development. The severity of the symptoms is usually an indication of just how advanced the hypothyroidism is.

It is also important to note that your body is dependent on the thyroid hormones for a number of other internal processes. What this means is that hypothyroidism does not just relate to your thyroid gland alone. There may be abnormalities in growth, cellular functions, and even mental development.

It is estimated that more than 27 million Americans are afflicted by thyroid diseases, and up to 13 million cases are undiagnosed. Almost three quarters of such thyroid disease cases are due to hypothyroidism. This is a stark and scary statistic. It means that there are millions of people out there who have no idea that they are suffering from this disease, and are probably taking pills for curing the symptoms instead of tackling the root cause.

The usual approach that most people take to beat this disease is medication. However, such medication is taken for your entire lifetime. Imagine spending your whole life popping L-thyroxine pills every day, just so that your Thyroid Stimulating Hormones (TSH) can be maintained at a normal level.
