Brief forgetfulness can indicate more than just a lack of attention. The symptom is also associated with problems in the functioning of the thyroid gland, which, when unhealthy, causes serious hormonal imbalances and brings various complications to the body's functioning.
"It is a problem that significantly affects the patient's health. Dermatitis, tachycardia, lethargy, pronounced hair loss, unexplained weight gain, and many other complications can arise from the poor functioning of the thyroid gland," explained endocrinologist Gisele Lorenzoni.
According to the doctor, women need to pay more attention to the problem. "In general, those between 20 and 40 years old are more susceptible to developing the disease. Therefore, keeping up with medical follow-ups is essential," she emphasized.
