WEIGHT GAIN AND HYPOTHYROIDISM

THE CAUSE

There may be a link between weight and the thyroid gland. The Thyroid gland has a critical role to play in your metabolism. And because patients with hypothyroidism have a very low metabolic rate, it may result in weight gain and difficulty losing weight.

THYROID IN WOMEN

Since more women than men have hypothyroidism, weight gain may be more common as well.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Regular exercise and a low calorie diet can help in controlling weight gain to some extent. But, sometimes the slow metabolism may continue and you may find it difficult to loose weight. In order to improve metabolism, please consult your doctor and have yourself tested for thyroid disorder.
