The thyroid gland is the largest
gland in your neck. It is located in the front neck below the skin
and muscle. The thyroid gland is the shape of a butterfly with the
left and right thyroid lobes, which wrap around the trachea,
resembling butterfly wings. The function of the thyroid is to
make thyroid hormone, which in turn regulates the body’s
metabolism. The influence of the
thyroid gland is both far-reaching and critical to normal body
function. It affects heart rate, cholesterol level, body weight,
energy level, muscle strength, skin condition, vision, menstrual
regularity, mental state and a lot of other conditions..
When there is too much
thyroid hormone produced, increasing the bodies metabolism, this is
called hyperthyroidism.
While to the other extreme, hypothyroidism
is when the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone, therefore
decreasing the bodies metabolism.
When left untreated, thyroid
disorders can affect the patient's cardiovascular system,
reproductive system and other major organs.
