Is hypothyroidism genetic

2018-09-06 08:52:27
Hi. I am only 22-years old and have recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism. Due to my enlarged thyroid gland, I’ve always had irregular periods along with inexplicable weight gain. Though we’ve started the possible treatment now but I can’t help wonder if hypothyroidism is genetic. My mother too suffered from the same. Can anyone guide me?
