Thyroid disease in women refers to abnormalities in the structure or dysfunction of the thyroid gland, causing it to release either too much or too little thyroid hormone compared to the body’s needs. The thyroid is a crucial endocrine gland that produces Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3), which regulate metabolism and overall body development. In women, thyroid hormones play a vital role throughout life, including during puberty and menopause.

⚠️ Warning Signs of a Weakening Thyroid in Women:

• Unexplained weight changes: Sudden weight gain or loss without an apparent cause.
• Temperature sensitivity: Feeling unusually cold or hot.
• Fatigue and poor sleep quality: Constant exhaustion, trouble falling or staying asleep.
• Depression and anxiety: Mood swings, nervousness, or prolonged sadness.
• Neck and throat issues: Swelling, pain, difficulty swallowing or breathing, hoarseness.
• Skin, hair, and nails problems: Dry or irritated skin, brittle hair prone to falling out, weak and fragile nails.
• Digestive problems: Hypothyroidism may cause persistent constipation, while hyperthyroidism can lead to diarrhea or irritable bowel syndrome.
• Menstrual and fertility issues: Irregular periods, increased risk of miscarriage, or even infertility if thyroid disease persists.
• Eye problems: Redness, swelling, blurred vision, watery eyes, light sensitivity.
• Memory and concentration difficulties: Brain fog, forgetfulness, or reduced focus.
• Muscle and joint pain: Weakness, pain in muscles or joints, or carpal tunnel syndrome.
