What Are Signs of an Under Active Thyroid?
The thyroid, a small bow-tie shaped gland in the crook of the neck, regulates the energy rate of all the body’s cells. Underactive thyroid is when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to keep the body running normally. Doctors call this hypothyroidism, explains the American Thyroid Association. A number of factors cause underactive thyroid. The signs are quite variable and typical of many conditions. Thus, many people remain unaware they have hypothyroidism.
