World Thyroid Day
Every year on May 25th, World Thyroid Day highlights this vital gland in the body that causes widespread disease around the world. The day also educates the public on the role of the thyroid gland in their overall health.
The thyroid gland is located at the base of the neck and is located in a small region. Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) are two hormones produced by this butterfly-shaped gland. Although the thyroid gland is a tiny gland, it plays a significant role in one's wellbeing.
The thyroid gland's primary function is to regulate the body's metabolism. Most people associate metabolism with how well you burn calories. But metabolism has also an effect on body temperature and heart rate. If you have a thyroid disorder, it will influence your metabolic rate.
Thyroid conditions
Thyroid disorders may cause either too little T3 and T4 or too much. Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid doesn't produce enough of these hormones. This condition is common in the thyroid gland or if there is an iodine deficiency. Iodine is the mineral that is used to produce thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism can also be caused by an autoimmune disorder called Hashimoto's. Untreated hypothyroidism can cause brain fog, hair loss, gallstones, constipation, slow metabolism, bloating, heartburn, elevated blood pressure, and dry skin.
Hyperthyroidism is another health problem related to the thyroid gland. This condition occurs when the thyroid produces too much T3 and T4, and it is usually associated with overactive nodules in the thyroid or too much iodine. Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by a condition called Grave's disease. This condition is a result of an overactive thyroid gland. Untreated hyperthyroidism can cause unintentional weight loss, rapid heartbeat, increased appetite, tremors, sweating, exhaustion, and sleep problems.
Anybody who suspects they have a thyroid disorder, particularly those with a family history of them, should consult their doctor. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are common treatment options.
