The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the neck’s base. It produces hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) that regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. These hormones affect nearly every organ system. When the thyroid is overactive or underactive, it can disrupt essential bodily functions.
Thyroid disorders can be caused by a range of factors, including:
Congenital issues: Some people are born with thyroid gland abnormalities
Symptoms depend on whether the thyroid is underactive or overactive.
Hypothyroidism:
• Fatigue
• Weight gain
• Cold intolerance
• Depression
• Dry skin
• Constipation
• Slow heart rate
Hyperthyroidism:
• Weight loss
• Heat intolerance
• Anxiety
• Tremors
• Rapid heartbeat
• Increased appetite
• Frequent bowel movements
Speak with a healthcare provider if you’re experiencing these symptoms.
Treatment is based on the type and severity of the condition:
For hypothyroidism:
• Mild cases: May only require routine monitoring
• Moderate to severe cases: Typically treated with daily levothyroxine
• Combination therapy: Some patients benefit from additional liothyronine
For hyperthyroidism:
• Antithyroid medications: Methimazole or propylthiouracil reduce hormone levels
• Radioactive iodine therapy: Destroys overactive thyroid tissue
• Beta-blockers: Help control symptoms like rapid heart rate
• Surgery: May be considered in specific or severe cases
Treatment plans should be personalized based on clinical evaluation.
