What Is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid (a small bland at the base of the neck) produces insufficient hormones, slowing down metabolism and affecting many bodily functions. People with hypothyroidism often experience symptoms, such as persistent fatigue, unexpected weight gain, sensitivity to cold, and dry or coarse skin. Additional signs may include hair thinning or loss, constipation, and mood changes like depression or difficulty concentrating. Because these symptoms can develop gradually, it's important to get regular checkups if you suspect an issue. At Houston Metropolitan Medical, our skilled staff has extensive experience helping patients manage hypothyroidism and other hormone problems, allowing them to enjoy increased energy and a greater overall quality of life. If you are struggling with low energy, unexpected weight gain, muscle aches, or other symptoms of hypothyroidism, we invite you to contact our office in Kingwood, TX to schedule a consultation and exam with Dr. Wilmer Valentin.
How Do You Treat Hypothyroidism?
Treatment for hypothyroidism focuses on replacing the hormones you're lacking to restore your body's normal functions. During your visit, we'll talk about the symptoms you're experiencing and review your medical history and lifestyle to diagnose your issue. We'll also do a blood test to check your hormone levels. Some of the most common causes of hypothyroidism include iodine deficiency, autoimmune issues, and other health disorders. Following this consultation, we'll develop a personalized wellness plan built around your needs. Your hypothyroidism treatment may include a combination of lifestyle changes, dietary modifications, and medication to boost your body's hormone production. This comprehensive approach not only helps you feel better day to day but also supports long-term well-being, empowering you to enjoy a more vibrant and active life.

Best Doctor ever đź‘Ť
I have been under Dr Valentin’s care for over 3 years and he is hands down the best primary care doctor I have ever had! He listens, finds solutions for your care and goes above and beyond for his patients! His office staff follows his great leadership and they show the same work ethic! He recently moved offices and it’s further for me, but I’d travel an hour plus if that meant I could still be seen by him! Thank you Dr V for all that you do! You and your team are so appreciated! If you’re looking for a PCP, I highly recommend Dr Wilmer Valentin!
