Hashimotos Disease
Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to its gradual destruction. This results in the thyroid’s inability to produce enough thyroid hormones, which are essential for regulating various bodily functions. Known also as Hashimoto thyroiditis, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, or lymphocytic thyroiditis, the disease impairs the thyroid’s function and causes a range of health issues related to hormone imbalances.
In the United States, the Statistics from Cleveland Clinic note that Hashimoto’s disease affects approximately 5% of the population and is the most common cause of hypothyroidism in countries with adequate iodine intake. While iodine deficiency is a major cause of hypothyroidism globally, Hashimoto’s disease is prevalent in areas where iodine levels are sufficient. Also, as stated in Mayo Clinic, the condition is particularly common among middle-aged women, though it can affect individuals of any age or gender.
Symptoms of Hashimoto’s
Disease
Hashimoto’s disease symptoms can develop gradually as thyroid function declines. Common symptoms include:
✅Constipation and digestive issues
✅Dry skin that may feel rough or flaky
✅Slower heart rate (bradycardia)
✅Joint and muscle pain or stiffness
✅Hair loss or dry, brittle hair
✅Decreased libido (reduced sex drive)
✅Difficulty with memory or concentration

✅Puffy face and swollen eyes
✅Infertility in both women and men
✅Fatigue and a general sense of sluggishness
✅Weight gain that may be gradual or subtle
✅Increased sensitivity to cold temperatures

As the disease progresses, these symptoms may become more pronounced, impacting daily life and overall well-being. Identifying and understanding these signs early can be crucial for effective management and improving quality of life.
