Hashimoto's Disease

Hashimoto's disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, which is located in the lower neck. This condition causes chronic inflammation and can lead to an underactive thyroid, known as hypothyroidism. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, dry hair, slow heart rate, and constipation. It's more common in women and can be treated with medication. If left untreated, it can lead to problems with pregnancy and fertility.
