Thyroid Disorders

What are Thyroid Disorders?

Thyroid disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. The thyroid plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism by producing hormones that control how the body uses energy. Thyroid disorders can result in either an overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones.
