Back to the Clinic - Underactive thyroid

Fri, Oct 1, 2010

Another group of patients return to the Embarrassing Bodies clinic, starting with 38-year-old Lois who has suffered from persistent thrush like symptoms for over 9-years. Dr Christian suspects that something else might be causing the infection. After a consultation with a specialist, the skin condition psoriasis is diagnosed – but an under active thyroid is found to be the ultimate cause, and treatment quickly leaves Lois on the road to recovery.
