In its early stages, hypothyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms. Over time, untreated hypothyroidism can lead to silent risks with some dangerous complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Dangerous complications of hypothyroidism<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the thyroid gland is located in front of the neck, many people may not know this &#8220;small but powerful&#8221; endocrine gland until a doctor diagnoses hypothyroidism. The risk of serious complications is even higher while up to 50% of patients are not diagnosed early now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thyroid gland plays an important role in making hormones that control metabolism and the conversion of food into energy. This endocrine gland is also involved in other functions that keep the brain, muscles, and digestive system running smoothly. When an underactive thyroid leads to hypothyroidism, the patient is at risk for some of the following complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11428 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nutricare.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Bien-chung-cua-suy-tuyen-giap-rui-ro-tham-lang-trong-co-the-ban-1.png\" alt=\" width=\" height=\"603\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Untreated hypothyroidism can lead to silent risks with some dangerous complications<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Hypothyroidism and dangerous complications for the patient&#8217;s body<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Goiter<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The constant stimulation to release more hormones can increase the size of the thyroid gland and lead to a complication known as a goiter. Although a goiter is not usually uncomfortable, severe conditions can interfere with swallowing or breathing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardiovascular problems<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypothyroidism may also be associated with an increased risk of heart disease and heart failure. It is mainly due to an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol or &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol that can occur in people with an underactive thyroid gland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mental health<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depression can appear early in the hypothyroid phase and can get worse over time. Hypothyroidism can also cause nerve function to slow down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Peripheral neuropathy<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uncontrolled long-term hypothyroidism can damage peripheral nerves. These are nerves that carry information from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body such as the arms and legs. Peripheral neuropathy can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the affected areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Myxedema<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This rare and life-threatening complication is the result of long-term undiagnosed hypothyroidism. The signs and symptoms of myxedema are dry, cold skin, muscle pain, drowsiness, tinnitus, constipation, etc. Severe complications can lead to deep coma and unconsciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infertility<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low levels of thyroid hormone can interfere with ovulation, which in turn reduces fertility. In addition, some causes of hypothyroidism such as autoimmune disorders can also impair fertility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Birth defects<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Babies born to women with untreated thyroid disease may have a higher risk of birth defects than babies born to healthy mothers. These children are also prone to severe intellectual and growth problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The unpredictable risks of hypothyroidism not only reduce the quality of life but can also cause death if not treated promptly. Therefore, how can you prevent and avoid dangerous complications of thyroid disease?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How to prevent complications of hypothyroidism?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should see your doctor if you feel tired for no reason or have any other signs of hypothyroidism, such as dry skin, pale face, puffiness, constipation, hoarseness, etc. To prevent dangerous symptoms of hypothyroidism, patients should follow the doctor&#8217;s treatment instructions and nutritional supplements to take care of thyroid health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow your doctor&#8217;s instructions for treatment<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the condition, the doctor may prescribe medication, surgery, radioactive iodine, hormone therapy.
