Thyroid Disorder

 

In order for your body to function normally, the thyroid gland secretes two types of hormones which are thyroxine and triiodothyronine. This thyroid gland that is in the front of the neck works to ensure the metabolic processes are working well together. Hyperthyroidism can be caused when this gland does not function properly and becomes overactive. Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is underactive. Women are more susceptible to thyroid disorders than men.
