An underactive thyroid (or hypothyroidism) is where your thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones.
The condition tends to affect older people, and is more likely to affect women than it is men.
Although it’s not always serious (in that it leads to chronic or fatal illness) it can have a massive impact on quality of life.
If left untreated, an underactive thyroid can lead to complications, including swelling of the thyroid (a condition called goitre), heart disease, mental health problems and infertility, according to the NHS.
According to the British Thyroid Foundation, one in 20 people will have a thyroid condition, so it’s important to recognise the symptoms and get help for it.
“An underactive thyroid means your thyroid gland isn’t producing enough thyroid hormone (thyroxine) for your body’s needs,” says Gwen Collins, chief nurse at Bupa.
“There are many symptoms of underactive thyroid, but tiredness, weight gain and feeling depressed are common signs. Other symptoms include feeling the cold easily, dry or pale skin, and brittle hair and nails.
What does the thyroid gland do?
The thyroid gland is found in the neck. It produces hormones that are released into the bloodstream to control the body’s growth and metabolism. These hormones are called thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
They affect processes such as heart rate and body temperature, and help convert food into energy to keep the body going.
Julia Priestley, development officer at the British Thyroid Foundation adds: “Typical symptoms are fatigue or tiredness, sensitivity to the cold, physical and mental slowness (some people describe this as a “brain fog”), dry skin and hair, low mood or depression and sometimes fertility problems.”
