Men and Hypothyroidism

No one ever really talks about men having thyroid disorders. But even though it is more common for women to be affected by hypothyroidism, men are susceptible too. It is not often talked about which is why it is important to discuss it.  

WHAT IS HYPOTHYROIDISM?

Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid does not produce enough hormones to make their way through the body. As a result, all the body’s processes begin to slow down. This can impact the cardiovascular system, the circulatory system, the digestive system, the central nervous system, and more. When it all starts to slow down due to the dysfunction, you begin to suffer.

It is common for the symptoms of thyroid conditions like hypothyroidism to mimic other health conditions so getting to the root cause of it is crucial if you want to find healing.

SIGNS OF HYPOTHYROIDISM IN MEN

Keep in mind that these are just the most common signs of a thyroid disorder in men. The thyroid controls many different areas of the body so when it is not functioning properly, you will feel it.

THE STATISTICS

It is imperative that men seek treatment when something seems off. It is easy for thyroid conditions to go undetected, so take charge of your health.
