Such symptoms include increased sweating, constant sleepiness, and weight gain in the absence of changes in diet and exercise. In addition, due to the reduced function of the thyroid gland, a person often retains fluid in the body, develops edema and may gain weight, but not due to adipose tissue, but due to excess water, the specialist explained.

The therapist also noted that it is impossible to find out about iodine deficiency with the help of an iodine grid on the skin, because it is a myth. The rapid disappearance of the pattern from the skin is not related to the lack of this trace element and only indicates the permeability of the skin. However, with the help of iodine, you can get rid of swelling and bruises.
