Patient's question:
Today afternoon when I went for a health check-up, the doctor said I have a clinical diagnosis of hypothyroidism. What is the meaning of a clinical diagnosis of hypothyroidism?Doctor's answer:
Your recent health check-up indicated a clinical diagnosis of hypothyroidism, which is a common endocrine disorder. It suggests that your thyroid function has decreased, unable to produce and excrete sufficient hormones, leading to a slowdown in the body's catabolic metabolism. It is recommended to revisit the hospital's endocrinology department for a check-up and use thyroid hormone replacement medication under the guidance of a physician. Regular follow-up is necessary to maintain hormone levels. Rest well and include iodine-rich foods such as kelp and laver in your diet.
