Facts on Thyroid Problems

The thyroid gland is located on the front part of the neck below the thyroid cartilage (Adam’s apple).

The gland produces thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolic rate (how fast calories are consumed to produce energy). Thyroid hormones are important in regulating body energy, body temperature, the body’s use of other hormones and vitamins, and the growth and maturation of body tissues.

Diseases of the thyroid gland can result in either production of too much (overactive thyroid disease or hyperthyroidism), too little (underactive thyroid disease or hypothyroidism) thyroid hormone, thyroid nodules, and/or goiter.

Thyroid problems are much more common in women than in men.

There are specic kinds of thyroid disorders that includes:
• Hypothyroidism
• Hyperthyroidism
