Such signs include: increased sweating, constant desire to sleep, and weight gain in the absence of changes in diet and physical activity. In addition, due to reduced thyroid function, a person with a reduced thyroid gland often retains fluid in the body, edema forms, and weight gain may occur, but not due to adipose tissue, but due to excess water, the specialist explained.

The therapist also noted that using an iodine grid on the skin cannot determine iodine deficiency, as this is a myth. The rapid disappearance of the pattern from the skin is not associated with a lack of this trace element and only indicates the permeability of the skin. However, iodine can help get rid of edema and bruises.
