  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.
