Can hypothyroidism cause weight loss
My friend who is 23-years old has hypothyroidism. However, contrary to the standard symptom of weight gain, she has actually undergone a significant weight loss. I can’t help wonder if hypothyroidism can cause weight loss. Has she lost weight due to a better lifestyle or is it just a result of her condition? Responses from those belonging to the medical community would be appreciated. Thank you.
