Understanding Congenital Hypothyroidism (Eng) | Dr Sreedhar MS | Rainbow Children's Hospital, Hebbal 

In this video, Dr Sreedhar MS, Consultant Neonatologist and Pediatrician, Rainbow Children’s Hospital in Hebbal, educates us on a not-so-uncommon condition in many newborn babies called congenital hypothyroidism. These babies are born with this condition and are not able to produce the thyroid hormone which is essential for their brain growth and development. Unfortunately, most babies show no signs of hypothyroidism when they are born and it becomes several weeks to a couple of months before it starts manifesting. Starting treatment at this stage may not have the best outcomes. Screening of congenital hypothyroidism is essential. Watch the video to learn more.
