About Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a case that comes when the
thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid
hormones to meet the needs of the body. Thyroid
hormones affect every cell and all the organs of
the body. Much thyroid hormone speeds things up
and too little thyroid hormone slows things down.

Treatment
If thyroid gland produces too much thyroid
hormone, you have a condition known as
hyperthyroidism. Treatment for this condition
aims to reduce and normalize thyroid hormone
production. Sometimes, treatment can cause the
levels of your thyroid hormone to remain low
permanently. This often occurs after treatment
with radioactive iodine.
