In medicine, hypothyroidism is "a syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of thyroid hormones from the thyroid gland, leading to a decrease in basal metabolic rate. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of mucopolysaccharides in the skin and edema, known as myxedema."[1]
Thyroid stimulating hormone levels of less than 10 may not be important.[2]
Treatment
Taking replacement hormone at night may be better.[3]
