My sister recently got diagnosed with a thyroid condition, and it seems like a lot of women in my family have it. I always thought it was more of a 'ladies' problem'. Can men also get thyroid issues, or is it rare for us?

Absolutely, men get it too. I struggled with extreme mood swings and fatigue for months, and everyone just told me I was being lazy. It was really hard emotionally until my blood report finally confirmed hypothyroidism.

Yes, absolutely. Men get both hypo and hyperthyroidism, and it is very easily manageable with daily medication.

Yes, men can also suffer from thyroid imbalance. While taking the proper medicine prescribed by the doctor, my husband also started drinking coriander seed water in the morning, which helped him feel much more active.

Of course men get thyroid issues. But please don't start drinking raw juices or trying random herbal powders from the internet to cure it. Just go to a proper lab, get a T3, T4, and TSH blood test, and consult an endocrinologist.

I am also wondering about this because I have been feeling very cold even in summers, and my weight is rising. Has any other guy here experienced these exact same symptoms before getting diagnosed?

Bro, yes, they do. I am only 26 and I got diagnosed with thyroid issues last year after I started losing hair and putting on weight suddenly. It is pretty common, so don't feel weird about it.

I didn't know men could also have this issue, I thought only women get it. My throat feels a bit swollen and I feel tired all the time. Should I consult a general doctor first or go to a specialist?
