Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid disorders involve abnormalities in the thyroid gland, which is responsible for regulating metabolism through hormone production. Common thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. Symptoms can vary widely but may include fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and temperature sensitivity.

Managing thyroid disorders often requires a combination of medication, lifestyle adjustments, and regular monitoring. Hypothyroidism is typically treated with synthetic thyroid hormone replacements, while hyperthyroidism may be managed with medications, radioactive iodine, or surgery. Autoimmune thyroid conditions might require more specialized treatment approaches.
