Thyroid disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. This gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, growth, and energy levels by producing hormones.
Hypothyroidism: Occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin.
Hyperthyroidism: Characterized by an overproduction of thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, irritability, and heat intolerance.
