Dr. Akanksha further emphasized that women, especially during pregnancy, post-pregnancy phases, and menopause, are at a higher risk of developing thyroid imbalances. Individuals with diabetes, obesity, autoimmune disorders, or a family history of thyroid disease should undergo regular hormonal check-ups and thyroid profile testing as part of preventive healthcare.
She advised to adopt healthy lifestyle habits including balanced nutrition, regular exercise, stress management, adequate sleep, and avoiding self-medication. She also cautioned against ignoring persistent symptoms and encouraged people to seek expert consultation instead of relying on unverified information available online.
