Hypothyroidism Screening of Adults Could Improve Lives | January, 2011

Many middle-aged people may be living with undiagnosed hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, when screening and treatment could improve their quality of life, according to a recent study from the United Kingdom. These findings were published by Emax Health and the study found that bringing thyroid hormone levels back to a healthy range could improve many symptoms, especially tiredness and loss of memory. Symptoms of hypothyroidism are often mistaken as signs of aging, and may include tiredness, memory problems, dry skin, constipation, weight gain, depression and sensitivity to cold.

A simple blood test can help determine levels of thyroid hormones. Once a thyroid imbalance is identified, the condition can be corrected using thyroid medication or hormone therapy. Many sufferers of thyroid imbalance have reported feeling better within the first few weeks of treatment. If you think you may be suffering from a thyroid imbalance, a BodyLogicMD affiliated doctor may be able to help by checking your hormone levels and treating any imbalances with bioidentical hormone therapy.
