What can be done about hypothyriodism?

Take replacement: Most hypothyroidism is due to primary thyroid failure. If you are truly hypothyroid you need to take levothyroxine replacement. Ask your doctor first what type of hypothyroidism you have. Rarely it may be temporary or due to a deficiency of the pituitary hormone TSH which may be accompanied by other hormone deficiencies.

Easy!: It's easy. See your doctor and start on brand name T4 replacement have your level checked every 6 weeks until it's normal - they take your medication daily as directed and the problem is all taken care of. I told you it was easy.
