GlossaryThyroid Disease

disorder affecting hormone production by the thyroid gland

Thyroid Disease, also known as Thyroid Disorder or Thyroid Dysfunction, refers to a range of conditions that affect the thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. These conditions can lead to either overproduction (hyperthyroidism) or underproduction (hypothyroidism) of thyroid hormones, which are crucial for regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall bodily functions. Common symptoms include weight changes, fatigue, and temperature sensitivity, and the conditions can be diagnosed through blood tests measuring hormone levels.
