Thyroid disorders are medical conditions that affect the function of the thyroid gland—a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that plays a vital role in regulating the body's metabolism through hormone production.

When the thyroid produces too little (hypothyroidism) or too much (hyperthyroidism) hormone, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbances, sensitivity to temperature, dry skin, hair thinning, or irregular heartbeat.

Although thyroid imbalances are common and often manageable, untreated thyroid conditions can impact daily functioning, fertility, heart health, and overall well-being. Timely diagnosis and consistent treatment are essential to maintain hormonal balance and a healthy life.
