GlossaryHyperthyroidism

overactive thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormones

Hyperthyroidism, also known as overactive thyroid, is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormones. This can lead to symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, weight loss, increased appetite, and anxiety. It can also affect hair health, potentially causing hair thinning or hair loss due to the accelerated metabolism and hormonal imbalances.
