A member asked:
Why does thyroid gland start functioning less in our body?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Underactive thyroid: There are different causes for it but hashimoto's thyroid disease (autoimmune) is the most common one. It runs in the family. It needs to be diagnosed and treated if you are trying to conceive or during pregnancy. It can be diagnosed on a blood test.
