THYROID

Thyroid is the butterfly-shaped gland present in the front of our neck. This gland carries out the function of producing hormones, namely triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones regulate many of the body's functions, including: Metabolism, Growth & Development, Muscle Contraction, Skin & Bone Maintenance etc.
Different thyroid disorders, such as hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, have certain overlapping symptoms.
The symptoms can be:
  • weight changes,
  • temperature sensitivity,
  • fatigue and sleep issues,
  • mental health problems,
  • problems in neck/throat,
  • changes in hair, nails and skin,
  • digestion issues,
  • issues with menstruation and fertility,
  • eye problems
    • The most common thyroid disorders are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), thyroid nodules (growths or lumps in the thyroid), and thyroid cancer.

    Thyroid disorders are diagnosed with blood tests, including TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), T3 and T4 levels, as well as thyroid antibodies in some cases. Imaging tests, like ultrasound or radioactive iodine uptake, may also be used.

    Yes, thyroid disease can affect fertility and pregnancy. It's important for pregnant women with thyroid disorders to manage their condition closely with their doctor, as untreated thyroid issues can affect the baby's development.
