1. Goitre: Iodine deficiency or auto
immune destruction of the thyroid gland result in decreased production of
thyroid hormone in response, increased thyroid stimulating hormone is released
from the pituitary to stimulate growth of the growth, which can cause a goitre.

2. Heart problem:Hypothyroidism can result
in an increased accumulation of low density lipoprotein (LDL), resulting in an
increased risk of heart disease long standing hypothyroidism can also lead to

4. Peripheral neuropathy: Long time hypothyroidism
can cause peripheral nerve damage, it is thought that this may be related to
longterm metabolic des-function, infertility insufficient thyroid hormone
levels can interfere with ovulation, impairing fertility. Hormone treatment for
hypothyroidism may not fully restore fertility untreated hypothyroidism can
lead to a number of health problems. Goitre constant stimulation of the thyroid
to release more hormones may cause the gland to become larger hashimoto’s
thyroiditis is one of the most common causes of goitre.
