Suggest Remedy For Excessive Weight Gain Due To Hypothyroidism
I have an underactive thyroid. I have irregular periods. I have been experiencing weight gain over the last few years especially around my stomach and middle area. I can t lose weight. I have gained weight easily ever since I was 13 years old. I follow a healthy diet and exercise 5 times a week. I get a brown vaginal discharge. I am 27 years old.
Hello, Welcome to hcm, Hypothyroidism itself can cause weight gain. Get one ultrasound done to rule out pcos, that means multiple cysts in ovary which occurs because of hormonal imbalance that may also cause weight gain and irregular periods. Continue your thyroid supplements regularly.
Thank you
