Summary
Recent years have seen a marked increase in the number of people suffering from thyroid disease due to lifestyle changes—especially among young women in their 20s and 30s, with the number of sufferers almost doubling compared to previous years. On average, one in ten women planning to conceive has hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism can lead to varying degrees of complications such as bradycardia, dyslipidaemia, constipation, and depression. It may also impair normal conception and childbearing, and even significantly increase the risk of myocardial infarction, as well as heart and kidney failure.
