Early Warning Signs of Thyroid Problems
The thyroid, a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions. When this gland malfunctions, it can lead to a range of health issues. Recognizing the early warning signs of thyroid problems is essential for timely diagnosis and effective management.
What are some of the early signs of thyroid issues?
In this article, Dr Amita Jain, who is a leading thyroid surgeon in the field of laparoscopic surgery shares some of the common indicators that may signal thyroid dysfunction. These are:
Fatigue and Weakness:
One of the early signs of thyroid problems is persistent fatigue and weakness. The thyroid gland produces hormones that influence the body’s energy levels. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) can lead to a feeling of constant tiredness, even after a full night’s sleep. If you find yourself struggling with fatigue despite maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
Unexplained Weight Changes:
Thyroid dysfunction can impact metabolism, leading to unexplained weight changes. Hypothyroidism often causes weight gain, while hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can result.
