Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid disorders involve imbalances in hormone production by the thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism, energy, and growth. The two most common conditions are hypothyroidism, where the gland underproduces hormones, leading to fatigue, weight gain, and depression, and hyperthyroidism, characterized by excessive hormone production, causing weight loss, anxiety, and rapid heart rate. Other disorders include goiter (enlargement of the thyroid) and thyroiditis (inflammation). Diagnosis typically involves blood tests measuring thyroid hormone levels and antibodies. Treatment options vary based on the condition; hypothyroidism is usually managed with hormone replacement therapy, while hyperthyroidism may require medication, radioactive iodine, or surgery. Regular monitoring is essential to prevent complications and ensure optimal thyroid health and overall well-being.
