Hashimoto’s Disease is a condition in which your body’s immune system attacks your thyroid gland as if it were a harmful intruder. This malfunction is a direct attack on your endocrine system, which produces many hormones that control bodily functions. In2GREAT Functional and Integrative Health is your Hashimoto’s Disease doctor in Kansas City when you need a functional medicine approach.
Symptoms of Hashimoto’s Disease
Hashimoto’s Disease develops slowly over time, causing chronic damage to your thyroid gland and endocrine system before most patients know they have a problem. This causes hormonal imbalances that can begin to manifest in:
- Fatigue
- Constipation
- Dry skin
- Brittle nails
- Hair loss
- Unexplained weight gain
- Muscle aches, tenderness or stiffness
- Depression
- Prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Memory problems
There are many contributing causes to Hashimoto’s Disease. You may be at a higher risk for contracting it if you are female, middle-aged, have a family member with it, or have some other autoimmune disease. Some viruses are thought to trigger it, and some researches believe a genetic component is involved.
