Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland produces hormones that are essential for almost all of the metabolic processes in the body. Thyroid disorders are caused due to the excessive or low functioning of the gland and can range from small, harmless conditions to life-threatening ones.

Hypothyroidism is a condition when the thyroid gland produces an insufficient amount of essential hormones. This can cause health problems such as obesity, infertility, joint pains and heart disease.

Hyperthyroidism is a disorder that occurs when the thyroid gland over-functions and produces a large amount of the thyroxine hormone. This can accelerate the body’s metabolism and cause weight loss and irregular heartbeat.

Thyroid Nodules are lumps that are solid or filled with fluid, which form within the thyroid gland. Most nodules are not serious and do not cause symptoms, and only a small percentage are cancerous.

Thyroiditis is an uncommon condition that causes the inflammation of the thyroid gland. This swelling can cause abnormal levels of thyroid hormones, both high and low, in the blood.

Goitre is a condition caused by the abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland. This thyroid disorder is usually painless, although a large swelling can cause coughing and make swallowing uneasy.
