Hypothyroidism, also known as underactive thyroid, is a condition where the thyroid gland does not create enough of a thyroid hormone called thyroxine. Thyroid hormones regulate the way in which the body uses energy - metabolism - and without enough thyroxine many of the body's functions slow down.
