- •Common symptoms include weight gain, fatigue, cold intolerance, dry skin, hair loss, and facial puffiness.
- •It can lead to serious issues like reduced heart rate, constipation, memory impairment, and depression.
- •Reduced metabolic rate impairs calorie utilization, making weight management difficult even with exercise.
- •Lifelong thyroid hormone replacement is the primary treatment; early initiation prevents severe complications and improves quality of life.
