About Hypothyroidism

Back to the top

Hypothyroidism, also known as an underactive thyroid, is a disorder in which your thyroid gland doesn’t make enough hormones to meet your body’s needs. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck which produces hormones that control how your body uses energy. These important hormones control many of your body’s most important functions including your metabolism, breathing, heart rate, digestion, and mood. When your thyroid slows down, these functions can be negatively affected.

Symptoms of Hypothyroidism:

  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Constipation
  • Muscle weakness, stiffness, and/or aches
  • Joint pain, stiffness, or swelling
  • Memory problems
  • Sudden weight gain (and difficulty losing it)
  • High cholesterol
  • Slow heart rate
  • Dry, thinning hair
  • Dry skin
  • Decreased tolerance for cold
  • Swelling of the thyroid gland (called a goiter)
  • A puffy face

Women may experience heavy or irregular periods and fertility problems

Hypothyroidism generally develops slowly. Because of this, it sometimes takes several months, or even years, before the symptoms are noticed. Once detected, however, it is usually treatable.

Hypothyroidism Causes

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. This is usually caused by an underlying condition.

Common causes of hypothyroidism include:

Autoimmune Conditions: Autoimmune conditions, like Hashimoto's disease, occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy tissue of the thyroid gland. This damages the thyroid and affects its ability to produce thyroid hormone.

Thyroiditis: Thyroiditis is the inflammation of the thyroid gland, usually caused by an infection or autoimmune disorder. This can cause the thyroidism to overproduce thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism), then become underactive.

Medication Usage: Certain medications can affect the thyroid gland's ability to produce thyroid hormone. If you begin to notice the signs or symptoms listed above while taking a prescription medication, talk to a health care provider right away.

Hypothyroidism Risk Factors

Hypothyroidism can affect anyone regardless of medical history, age, or gender. There are, however, several risk factors that might make you more susceptible for developing this condition.

You might be at greater risk for developing hypothyroidism if you are:

  • A woman
  • Have a family history of thyroid conditions
  • Have an autoimmune condition like Type 1 diabetes
  • Have had thyroid surgery
  • Have received radiation therapy to the thyroid or neck
  • Have undergone therapy for hyperthyroidism

A thyroid panel is a series of blood tests that help determine whether or not your thyroid gland is functioning properly. The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that lies below your Adam’s apple in the front of the neck. The gland is responsible for the production of the triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) hormones, which regulate your body’s metabolism. Thyroid panel tests are used to determine the levels of thyroid hormones you have in your body.

Booking an appointment with a doctor or nurse online is typically the fastest way to get a prescription! Sesame offers same-day online doctor prescription and prescription refill appointments with board-certified healthcare professionals. If deemed clinically necessary, Sesame providers can provide prescriptions and prescription refills for most non-controlled substances. They can also provide you with a doctor’s note if necessary.

Most online prescription and prescription refill appointments take around 15 minutes, and providers are able to send a prescription to a pharmacy of your choice right after your appointment.

Sesame offers online prescription and refill services at affordable prices, starting at just $29. If a new prescription is determined necessary by a provider, clinicians on Sesame can prescribe medication that helps treat blood pressure, infections, allergies, cholesterol problems, thyroid conditions, and more!

Yep! If you request a prescription transfer, you can easily move your prescription from one pharmacy to another. Plus, many pharmacies now offer mail services for home delivery. Here's how to request a prescription refill at a different pharmacy:

3) Wait for the prescription to be transferred before you pick it up. It usually takes pharmacies a few days to transfer a prescription, but you will get a notification once this step has been completed. Either go pick up your prescription in person or set up home delivery.
