The most common are: constipation, pallor or dry skin, swelling of face, hands and feet, hoarseness, slow speech, fatigue, involuntary weight gain, heavy menstrual periods, greater sensitivity to cold and muscle cramps. A person may not present all of them.

Hypothyroidism can be diagnosed by a blood test that measures the values ??of thyroid hormones and thyroid stimulating hormones (TSH) from the pituitary gland.

Pregnant women are given a complete study. In the case of the thyroid, the study of free T4, TSH and antithyroid antibodies is requested.
