The thyroid gland creates thyroid hormones with iodine from your food to keep the body's metabolism functioning at a satisfactory rate.Â
A thyroid disorder occurs due to either excess production of hormone resulting in the body using energy faster than it should (hyperthyroidism), or not enough hormone resulting in the body using energy slower than it should (hypothyroidism).
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, which regulates metabolic processes.
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces less hormones. This can happen due to iodine deficiency or Hashimoto’s Disease, an autoimmune disorder.
Another thyroid disorder is hyperthyroidism, in which the production of hormones is too high. This may be caused by Grave’s Disease or a hyperactive thyroid gland. Another cause could be certain medications that contain excessive iodine, which disturbs the thyroid gland.
