There are several kinds of thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, goiter, and thyroid nodules. The most common thyroid condition is hypothyroidism, which occurs when the thyroid produces an insufficient amount of thyroid hormone. It can arise from issues within any part of the thyroid feedback loop, including the thyroid gland, pituitary gland, or hypothalamus. Hypothyroidism symptoms can include fatigue, poor concentration, dry skin, constipation, feeling cold, fluid retention, muscle aches, low mood, and excessive menstrual bleeding.
Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT, is the practice of using bioidentical hormones to supplement low hormone levels or balance high hormone levels in the body. The BioTE method of pellet therapy may relieve thyroid symptoms to help regain emotional and physical balance.
