What is Thyroid

It is a medical condition that affects the normal function of the thyroid gland. It is located in front of the neck.

Five general types are:

1. Hypothyroidism (low function) is caused by not having enough thyroid hormone.
2. Hyperthyroidism – High function.
3. Goiter – Enlargement of the thyroid gland.
4. Tumor benign or malignant.
5. Abnormal thyroid test.

The most common is hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.

Hormones released by the gland travel through the bloodstream and affect nearly every part of the body.

It controls how your body cell uses energy from blood metabolism. Other things metabolism affects your body temperature, heartbeat, and burns calories. If you don’t have enough hormone, body processes slow down. That means your body makes less energy and metabolism becomes sluggish.
