Thyroid

Thyroid disorders including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, arise from imbalances in thyroid hormone production. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, plays a critical role in regulating metabolism. Hypothyroidism, characterized by low hormone levels, can lead to fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Hyperthyroidism, marked by excessive hormone production, can cause weight loss, anxiety, and palpitations.

Diagnosing thyroid disorders involves blood tests to measure hormone levels. Treatment may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery. Regular check-ups and personalized care plans are essential for managing thyroid health effectively.
