HealthPhoto: HT HealthEndocrinologist Explains Thyroid's Role in Weight Changes
Endocrinologist Dr. Seema Daksh explains how thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature, affecting weight. Hypothyroidism slows metabolism, causing weight gain often linked to water retention, while hyperthyroidism speeds metabolism, leading to weight loss despite normal or increased appetite. Weight changes alone don't confirm thyroid issues but may warrant testing if accompanied by other symptoms.
