Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy
Thyroid Hormone Replacement Therapy is a medical treatment used to manage conditions like hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This therapy typically involves taking synthetic hormones, such as levothyroxine, to restore normal hormone levels in the body.
The goal of this therapy is to alleviate symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and depression, which can occur due to low thyroid hormone levels. Regular monitoring through blood tests ensures that the dosage is appropriate and effective, helping patients maintain a healthy balance of thyroid hormones.
