Abstract

Hypothyroidism is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by inadequate production of thyroid hormones, primarily affecting women. This review examines the epidemiology, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, complications, and management of hypothyroidism, with emphasis on recent research findings. Currently, diabetes mellitus and thyroid illness are India's two most prevalent endocrine disorders, respectively. It more frequently affects women, and the risk rises with age and for people who have a family history of thyroid issues. [1] In India, 11% of people have hypothyroidism, compared to 2% in the UK and 4.6% in the USA.

Homoeopathic medication is essential in the treatment of thyroid disorders. In the case of hypothyroidism, the medications have a strong effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Medicine is used on sick people to modulate their immune responses to a desirable degree. This is known as immunological modulation. Homoeopathic medication can thereby normalize T3, T4, and TSH results and keep the thyroid gland functioning normally.
