Secondary Hypothyroidism treatment in Aguascalientes

Secondary hypothyroidism is a form of low thyroid function that does not originate in the thyroid gland itself, but in a failure of the pituitary, the brain gland that sends the signal for the thyroid to work.

Why does it happen? The pituitary does not properly produce the hormone that stimulates the thyroid, so the thyroid reduces its activity even while being healthy.

Frequent symptoms: Fatigue, feeling cold, dry skin, slowness and changes in mood may appear, sometimes in a subtle way.

Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the one who studies the complete hormonal axis to understand the origin of the problem. If you have persistent symptoms of low energy or hormonal changes, it's worth having a professional carefully assess your case.
