EXPERT SUGGESTION
Dr Rakesh Kumar Prasad, Consultant, Endocrinology, Fortis Hospital, Noida, suggested some symptoms of thyroid in women.
FATIGUE
Persistent fatigue, even when well rested, may indicate thyroid or hypothyroidism. This interferes with daily activities and can affect productivity.
WEIGHT IMBALNCE
Unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight may indicate underweight, while sudden weight loss may be a sign of hyperthyroidism.
SENSITIVITY TO COLD
If you feel too cold, unrelated to the surrounding temperature, it could be a symptom of a thyroid disorder.
CONSTIPATION
Digestive issues like constipation can be caused by thyroid and hormone imbalances, especially over the long term.
