Thyroid Problems in Women: Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

Thyroid disorders affect women far more often than men — especially during times of hormonal change. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help diagnose and treat thyroid issues that often masquerade as “just stress.”

Symptoms of hypothyroidism (low thyroid):

✔ Fatigue
✔ Weight gain
✔ Cold intolerance
✔ Hair thinning
✔ Constipation
✔ Depression
✔ Dry skin
✔ Irregular periods

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid):

✔ Anxiety
✔ Heart palpitations
✔ Heat intolerance
✔ Weight loss
✔ Tremors
✔ Insomnia
✔ Frequent bowel movements

Why thyroid issues are overlooked:

Their symptoms overlap with perimenopause, depression, and everyday life overwhelm.

What testing includes:

• TSH
• Free T4
• Free T3 (when indicated)
• Thyroid antibodies (if autoimmune disease suspected)

A simple blood test can explain months — or years — of unexplained symptoms.

If these symptoms sound familiar, book a thyroid evaluation at Be. in Frisco.
