Signs of Thyroid Problems in Women (Warning Signs that your Thyroid is NOT working properly!)

This is a list of signs of thyroid problems in women! If you are not feeling like yourself and experiencing symptoms such as weight gain, fatigue, or hair loss then it may be your thyroid! Low thyroid function impacts up to 20% of the population (or more). Find out how thyroid problems manifest in women here.

Both men and women can get thyroid problems, that much is true but the way that thyroid problems impact men and women is slightly different.

This has to do with how the thyroid regulates certain hormones, especially sex hormones.

In women, this often manifests as changes to their menstrual cycle as well as their ability to get pregnant (fertility).

The most common symptoms of low thyroid problems in women include:

1. Menstrual changes + Infertility

2. Weight gain & inability to lose weight

3. Hair loss (hair falling out, hair growth is slow)

4. Cold intolerance

5. Mood changes (depression, brain fog, anxiety, or irritability)

6. Fatigue

7. Constipation and bloating

8. Muscle pain or joint pain

9. Low body temperature

What are you supposed to do if you have any of these symptoms?

The first step is to get PROPER testing! This means getting more than just your TSH. You will want to get a TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.

In order to get these tests, you will need to see the right type of doctor as well! The best doctors to fix your thyroid include those that specialize in integrative medicine, functional medicine, and anti-aging medicine.

Do you have any of these symptoms? If so, let me know below!
