Subclinical Hypothyroidism

Subclinical hypothyroidism is referred to as an early form of hypothyroidism. It is a condition where the body does not produce enough thyroid hormones, and serum TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) remains above normal. It can occur due to Hashmito's thyroiditis, injury in the thyroid tissue, and radioactive iodine therapy used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. The common symptoms are weight gain, fatigue, constipation, depression, and hair loss. It can be managed by Levothyroxine replacement therapy.
