    This document discusses the causes and symptoms of hypothyroidism. The main causes of primary hypothyroidism are congenital issues like thyroid dysgenesis or resistance, or acquired issues like postablative hypothyroidism, iodine deficiency, or drug effects. Secondary hypothyroidism is caused by pituitary or thalamic failure reducing TSH release. Congenital hypothyroidism symptoms include cold intolerance, short stature, slow development, puffy face, and signs of gonadal stimulation like breast development in girls.
