Thyroid Disorders

What is Thyroid Disorders?

Thyroid disorders are health issues that concern the thyroid glands. It is a gland present on the front side of your neck and regulates multiple metabolic processes in the body. The gland secretes vital hormones like thyroxine. Thyroid problems are of different kinds, such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, etc.

Symptoms of thyroid disorders

The major difference between the two types of diabetes is that type 1 symptoms show up quicker than type 2 and thus can be treated on time.

Hyperthyroidism

The problem occurs when the gland functions overactive and produces excess thyroid hormone, speeding up your body metabolism. 

Symptoms of hyperthyroidism are:

  • Weakness
  • Rapid heart rate
  • Insomnia
  • Irritability and anxiety
  • Frequent bowel movements
  • Weight loss
  • Excessive weight loss
  • Increased appetite

Treatment of thyroid disorders

The best treatment course can only be decided after a thorough examination of your case. In the case of hyperthyroidism, the most common course of treatment is drug therapy or thyroid medications. For severe cases, the patient might also be given a dose of radioactive iodine to control the problem. In the case of hypothyroidism, the patient is given thyroid hormone.
