The thyroid profile is essential to rule out or confirm thyroid conditions, specifically:
Hypothyroidism: insufficient hormonal release that generates intolerance to cold, constipation, mood swings, tiredness, pains muscular (myalgia) and joints, brittle hair and nails, heavy menstruation, infertility problems and weight gain with decreased appetite.
