Thyroid Disorder
The thyroid gland secretes several hormones, collectively known as thyroid hormones. The main harmony is thyroxine or T4. They work and conduct functions throughout the body, regulating metabolism, growth and development, and body temperature. For an infant, thyroid hormone is crucial for brain development.
The two most common types of thyroid diseases are:
Hyperthyroidism: Hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid takes place when the thyroid gland produces an excessive quantity of the hormone thyroxine. Hyperthyroidism accelerates the body's metabolism, causing unintentional weight loss and a rapid or irregular heartbeat. Several treatments are available for hyperthyroidism.
Hypothyroidism: Hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid, is a common condition when the thyroid gland doesn't release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream. It makes the metabolism slow down. Hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures.
