The thyroid is the largest endocrine gland in the human body. It is shaped like a butterfly and is located at the base of the throat, in front of and on either side of the trachea. It produces hormones that regulate #metabolism, growth and body temperature.
If the gland is underactive, it produces small amounts of the hormone (hypothyroidism). Conversely, if it is overactive, it produces excessively large amounts of the hormone (#hyperthyroidism).
Thyroid disorders can be due to hereditary factors, stress, toxins from the environment, an autoimmune reaction, etc.
Talk to your personal doctor. With a simple examination, we #prevent before the symptoms burden your daily life.
