Hypothyroidism (Qillat-e-Ifraz-e-Darqiyya) is a condition where the thyroid gland is underactive and unable to produce enough thyroid hormone. The description of hypothyroidism as a disease is not directly found in Unani texts. However, the signs and symptom of hypothyroidism resemble the clinical manifestation associated with Su-e-Mizaj Barid Maddi (derangement in cold temperament), such as plethora (Imtila), excessive salivation (Kasrat-e-Luabe-e-Dahan), tiredness (Aa'yan), loss of appetite (Zoaf-e-Ishteha), excessive sleeping (Kasrat-e-Naum) and cold skin (Baroodat-e-Jildia). These signs and symptoms are the result of an excess in abnormal phlegm (Ghair Tabayi Balgham) in the body. This review article identifies the observations from Unani literature that describe derangement in cold temperament and relate them to the clinical presentation of primary hypothyroidism in conventional medicine. We also discuss management of these symptoms in Unani medicine.
甲状腺功能减退症（甲状腺功能减退症）是一种甲状腺功能低下，无法产生足够的甲状腺激素的疾病。在阿育吠陀文献中，并没有直接将甲状腺功能减退症描述为一种疾病。然而，甲状腺功能减退症的症状和体征与 Su-e-Mizaj Barid Maddi（寒气质失调）相关的临床表现相似，如多血症（Imtila）、过度流涎（Kasrat-e-Luabe-e-Dahan）、疲劳（Aa'yan）、食欲不振（Zoaf-e-Ishteha）、过度嗜睡（Kasrat-e-Naum）和皮肤冰冷（Baroodat-e-Jildia）。这些症状和体征是体内异常痰（Ghair Tabayi Balgham）过多的结果。这篇综述文章从阿育吠陀文献中识别出描述寒气质失调的观察结果，并将其与传统医学中原发性甲状腺功能减退症的临床表现联系起来。我们还讨论了阿育吠陀医学中对这些症状的管理。
