Understanding Thyroid Disorders
The thyroid gland controls metabolism and energy production. Thyroid disorders occur when hormone levels become too high or too low.
Hypothyroidism may cause fatigue, weight gain, and dry skin, while hyperthyroidism may cause weight loss, anxiety, and rapid heartbeat.
Blood tests help diagnose thyroid conditions. Treatment may include medications and lifestyle changes. Early management is important to prevent complications.
Awareness about thyroid health encourages timely medical care.
