Other specified hypothyroidism - what does this mean
Other specified hypothyroidism is caused by a decrease in the production of thyroid hormones due to a variety of reasons, such as autoimmune diseases, iodine deficiency, radiation therapy, certain medications, or surgical removal of the thyroid gland.
What happens during the disease - other specified hypothyroidism
Other specified hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. this condition is usually caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland, or by a lack of iodine in the diet. the lack of thyroid hormones can cause a wide range of symptoms, such as fatigue, constipation, dry skin, and weight gain. treatment typically involves taking thyroid hormone replacement medication to help restore normal levels of hormones in the body.
