My website deals with the issues surrounding hypothyroidism, and browsing accross the web today I found an interesting article that deals with some of the identified causes of the condition.

According to the article, right around 200 mission people suffer from thyroid conditions worldwide, but many of them don’t know that they do.

“Hypothyroidism is related to under-production of the hormones, which slows down the body’s metabolism, and the patients feel cold, tired, and depressed. Patients also tend to gain weight despite a sensible diet and exercise. There is a possibility of increase in blood pressure and cholesterol levels.”

Also, I learned that a lack of iodine can cause the condition, as well as it also being congenital in certain instances.

“The causes of hypothyroidism include lack of iodine, the deficiency of which is a leading cause of congenital hypothyroidism worldwide. Surgical removal of the thyroid gland or treatment with radioiodine can also lead to hypothyroidism. There is a possibility of congenital hypothyroidism, when babies are born without a thyroid gland or with one that is not properly functioning. Medicines like amiodarone, used to treat an abnormal heart rhythm, and lithium, used in psychiatric patients, may also cause hypothyroidism.”

You should always get a doctors opinion first to accurately identify if this is what you are suffering from and for the doctor to prescribe treatment, however many people are reporting success by using thryomine which is over the counter, inexpensive and natural.  For more information on thyromine,   CLICK HERE.
