Hypothyroidism in Children and Teens

Although the condition usually affects adults, it can also happen to children and teens.

Adolescent girls might have heavy menstrual periods. Kids with hypothyroidism may also have problems with schoolwork. They may start to do poorly due to memory problems and fatigue.

Hypothyroidism in traditional medicine:

Body fluids or humors are substances which produced after 4 levels of digestion in the digestive system, liver, blood, cells and tissues and they are resources of needed materials for body . Certain human moods, emotions and behaviors are caused by an excess or lack of these body fluids or “humors”: blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. There are 4 temperamental categories named “sanguine”(warm and wet), “choleric”(warm and dry), “melancholic”(cold and dry) and “phlegmatic”(cold and wet). They are results of excess humors that produced.

According to traditional medicine, if coldness increases in the body, it is more probable to be threatened by many diseases such as hypothyroidism.
