Can hypothyroidism cause obesity

summary

I had a physical examination before I felt sick. I had hypothyroidism. Recently, I have been recuperating at home. I just eat, drink and sleep every day. I feel that I have gained a lot of weight because I can feel it when I wear clothes. Later, I went to weigh myself. I really gained a lot of weight. Today, let me talk about whether hypothyroidism will lead to obesity.

Can hypothyroidism cause obesity

First: it may be a process of treatment. If you are not very fat, you can replace thyroid hormone every day to make your thyroid function normal. Everything is normal. If you want to be thinner, you have to take measures to lose weight. You can also control your weight from diet. When your body is stable, you will not get fat naturally.

Second: the general manifestations of hypothyroidism: cold, dry skin, less sweat, rough, yellowing, cool, sparse hair, dry, brittle nails, cracks, fatigue, drowsiness, poor memory, mental retardation, slow reaction, mild anemia, weight gain.

Third: the so-called hypothyroidism refers to the lack of thyroxine produced by the human body, resulting in the slowing down of metabolism of cells and tissues in the whole body. If not treated, light people will feel weak, edematous and obese, and serious people will eventually die of heart failure, brain dysfunction and coma. It can be seen that obesity is also one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism.

matters needing attention

The initial stage is the best time for the treatment of hypothyroidism, so once it is found, it should be treated immediately. The impact of early treatment on the patient's body is still relatively small. The treatment must be cautious. Each drug has certain indications, which may not be suitable for all patients. Improper treatment will aggravate the disease.
