A member asked:

Is stomach pain a symptom of hypothyroidism?

Specializes in Endocrinology

Possibly: Hypothyroidism, untreated, slows peristalsis - the propulsion of food through the digestive system - and can cause symptoms such as constipation or dull pain.

Possible: Hypothyroidism slows down your metabolism which can sometimes cause constipation leading to stomach pain.
