================== ARTICLE START ==================

Thyroid disease symptoms and hypothyroidism symptoms afflict

millions of adults in the USA alone. Thyroid disease symptoms

are frequently misdiagnosed or undiagnosed. Approximately

10-20% of women and 1-2% of men have symptoms of thyroid

problems. The most common type of thyroid dysfunction is the

condition hypothyroidism, also called low thyroid or

underactive thyroid.

When thyroid function slows too much, one of the consequences

is that metabolism in the body slows down more than it should.

When the body's metabolism slows down due to underactive

thyroid function, the result can be hypothyroidism symptoms

such as fatigue, weight gain and depression. And other thyroid

symptoms may be experienced as well, and these other symptoms

may appear to be unrelated.

The most common thyroid disease symptoms and hypothyroidism

symptoms include:

• Cold intolerance, cold hands and feet

• Constipation

• Depression

• Dry and coarse skin

• Fatigue and weakness

• Forgetfulness, dementia

• Hair loss

• Heavy menstrual periods

• High cholesterol

• Immune system problems

• Nervousness, tremors

• Sleep difficulties

• Weight gain

Having hypothyroidism symptoms is related to hormone imbalance.

For a woman, three of the critical hormones are estrogen,

thyroid hormone and progesterone. Understanding how these

hormones work together helps one better understand how to

approach treating thyroid disease symptoms.

Harvard-trained Dr. R. Lee, women's physician Dr.

Hanley and Virginia Hopkins are co-authors of the best-seller

What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Premenopause. Dr. Lee

explains his observations over a twenty-year period when

treating women having thyroid disease symptoms. Dr. Lee

believed that elevated levels of estrogen interferes with

normal thyroid function, while progesterone facilitates healthy

thyroid function. As excess estrogen interferes with normal

thyroid hormone function, progesterone helps the thyroid gland

function more as it is supposed to.

He noticed that women who tested normal for thyroid function

were often progesterone deficient. Dr. Lee found a clear

pattern in his patients with a progesterone deficiency which

was this - their thyroid disease symptoms lessened when natural

progesterone supplementation was done and hormone balance was

achieved.

happens and how to have balanced hormones for better health.
