What are the risks of untreated hypothyroidism(underactive thyroid)?

 Hypothyroidism is a medical condition that occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. These hormones are responsible for regulating metabolism, energy levels, and other important bodily functions. Hypothyroidism can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, weight gain, depression, and more. It is typically treated with medication to replace the missing thyroid hormones.

 

Untreated hypothyroidism can lead to serious health complications, including heart disease, high cholesterol, infertility, and nerve damage. It can also cause mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Therefore, it is important to seek medical treatment if you suspect you have hypothyroidism. With proper treatment, most people with hypothyroidism can lead normal, healthy lives.
