AI overview

Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, cold intolerance, muscle aches, constipation, and weight gain. It matters because left untreated—especially during pregnancy—it can cause serious complications including goiter (neck swelling) and developmental delays in infants.
