The thyroid gland produces hormones: thyroxine, triiodothyronine and calcitonin. These hormones regulate the body's metabolism, the function of the nervous and cardiovascular systems, respiration, body temperature, body mass, hair and nail growth, regular bowel function, and human mental ability. Hypothyroidism is a disease in which thyroid hormones are produced less than normal. When the thyroid gland produces less hormone and transports it through the blood to the cells, metabolism slows down. Hypothyroidism is manifested by the following symptoms: •fatigue •weight gain •depression •dry skin •hair loss •swelling in the upper, lower extremities or face •memory impairment •concentration impairment •headache •loss of appetite •cold feeling •decreased performance •palpitations •sleep disorders •menstrual cycle disorders in women •constipation The cause of hypothyroidism can be iodine deficiency or autoimmune thyroiditis. There are 2 main forms of hypothyroidism: 1.Congenital, which is diagnosed immediately after the birth of a child. 2.Acquired, which can be associated with a direct lesion of the thyroid gland, or with a dysfunction of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus located in the brain. In connection with this problem, primary or secondary hypothyroidism is distinguished. Hypothyroidism may not be detected for a long time, as it develops slowly and with unclear symptoms. For diagnosis, it is necessary to perform a blood test for thyroid hormones, specific antibodies, ultrasound examination, scintigram. Treatment of hypothyroidism: replacement therapy, i.e. taking thyroid hormones. The diet should be rich in iodine, vitamins and microelements. Armenia is considered an iodine-deficient region, as a result of which it is necessary to regularly consult an endocrinologist and monitor the amount of iodine in the body.
