Overview. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is a condition in which your thyroid gland doesn't produce enough of certain crucial hormones. Hypothyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms in the early stages.

E02 - Subclinical iodine-deficiency hypothyroidism | ICD-10-CM.
There are three types of hypothyroidism: primary, secondary, and tertiary. In primary hypothyroidism, your thyroid is being stimulated properly. However, it isn't able to produce enough thyroid hormones for your body to function properly. This means that your thyroid itself is the source of the problem.
Hypothyroidism is a problem with your thyroid gland; Hashimoto's is a problem with your immune system. In Hashimoto's– as in all autoimmune diseases– the immune system gets confused and mistakenly attacks a part of your own body, kind of the metabolic equivalent of “friendly fire”.
Hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid (when it produces too much thyroid hormone). Hypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid (when it does not produce enough). Hypothyroidism is more common than hyperthyroidism. Although the two conditions have different signs and symptoms, sometimes they overlap.
The term myxedema refers to the thickened, nonpitting edematous changes to the soft tissues of patients in a markedly hypothyroid state. Myxedema coma, a rare, life-threatening condition, occurs late in the progression of hypothyroidism.
Definition of myxedema : severe hypothyroidism characterized by firm inelastic edema, dry skin and hair, and loss of mental and physical vigor.
Myxedema can also occur in Hashimoto thyroiditis and other long-standing forms of hypothyroidism. The word myxedema originates from μύξᾰ, taken from ancient Greek to convey 'mucus' or 'slimy substance', and οἴδημα for "swelling". It can also be thought as nonpitting edema, in contrast to pitting edema.
