About

The thyroid gland regulates the body’s metabolism and growth. It also secretes several hormones:

  • Thyroxine (T4)
  • Triiodothyronine (T3)
  • Calcitonin

Thyroid problems can affect women of any age.

When your thyroid makes either too much or too little of these important hormones, it’s called a thyroid disease. There are several different types of thyroid disease, including hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

There are a variety of symptoms you could experience if you have a thyroid disease. Unfortunately, symptoms of a thyroid condition are often very similar to the signs of other medical conditions and stages of life. This can make it difficult to know if your symptoms are related to a thyroid issue or something else entirely.

 Early warning signs of thyroid issues that you should be aware of.

7 early warning signs of thyroid issues include:

  • Fatigue
  • Weight gain
  • Weight loss
  • Slowed heart rate
