I wanted to know when you have a thyroid problem does that make you gain weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly.: If the thyroid gland doesn't function properly and doesn't produce enough thryoid hormones, then weight gain can be experienced. Weight gain can be part of 'hypothyroidism'. Conversely, if the thyroid gland is too active and makes excessive hormones, then the patient may experience weight loss. Keeping thyroid levels at a steady and appropriate state is important.
