Los pacientes con hipotiroidismo tienden a sufrir de muchos s\u00edntomas inespec\u00edficos como cansancio, debilidad, letargo, depresi\u00f3n, p\u00e9rdida de cabello, estre\u00f1imiento, intolerancia al frio y aumento de peso.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; El diagn\u00f3stico del hipotiroidismo depende de los resultados obtenidos en el laboratorio y nunca se debe diagnosticar solamente basado en los s\u00edntomas. S\u00edntomas similares se pueden ver en otras condiciones m\u00e9dicas y requieren otros tratamientos. La prueba m\u00e1s efectiva para diagnosticar el hipotiroidismo es la TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). El hipotiroidismo primario siempre se presenta con una&nbsp; elevaci\u00f3n de la TSH.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; La mayor\u00eda de los casos tienden a tener un historial positive en la familia y muchas veces el hipotiroidismo es debido a una enfermedad autoinmune conocida como la enfermedad de Hashimoto en honor a un m\u00e9dico japon\u00e9s quien la describi\u00f3 hace mucho tiempo. Esta condici\u00f3n es m\u00e1s com\u00fan en las mujeres pero tambi\u00e9n afecta a los hombres.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; La evaluaci\u00f3n del hipotiroidismo requiere&nbsp; un historial y un examen f\u00edsico. El medico har\u00e1 un examen de pulm\u00f3n, Coraz\u00f3n, extremidades y del cuello donde se encuentra la gl\u00e1ndula tiroides. En algunos casos se encuentra una tiroides recrecida (bocio o coto) y a veces se encuentran n\u00f3dulos tiroideos. Si el medico piensa que hay n\u00f3dulos el ordenara un sonograma. Algunos n\u00f3dulos pueden requerir una biopsia. Si hay algo sospechoso se recomienda una evaluaci\u00f3n quir\u00fargica pero por lo general el tratamiento del hipotiroidismo no requiere ning\u00fan procedimiento invasivo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; El tratamiento predilecto es levotiroxina pero tambi\u00e9n se pueden utilizar combinaciones de levotiroxina&nbsp; con triyodotironina. Esta es una decisi\u00f3n que su m\u00e9dico discutir\u00e1 durante su visita. Una vez comienza el tratamiento hay que repetir la TSH cada 6-12 semanas para asegurar que el tratamiento es efectivo.&nbsp; Una vez se normaliza la TSH se puede repetir el an\u00e1lisis anualmente. De vez en cuando es necesario hacer ajustes al medicamento.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Los endocrin\u00f3logos son los m\u00e9dicos que especializan en el tratamiento de la tiroides y de otros problemas glandulares como la diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Por&nbsp;Jose Mandry, MD<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<em>West Orange Endocrinology, PA<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pamacfl.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/jose-mandry-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El hipotiroidismo es una condici\u00f3n clinica en la cual la gl\u00e1ndula tiroidea no produce la necesaria cantidad de hormonas, tiroxina (T4) y ttiyodotironina (T3), para mantener el balance metab\u00f3lico del cuerpo humano.
