Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a common medical condition which results in decreased production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland in the neck. There are many causes of hypothyroidism including Hashimoto’s thyroiditis which is an autoimmune condition that causes thyroid gland cell destruction. Some people become hypothyroid after having thyroid surgery.
