What Are Thyroid Disorders?

The thyroid is a small gland located in the neck that produces hormones responsible for regulating metabolism, growth, and energy. Thyroid disorders occur when the gland produces too much hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little hormone (hypothyroidism), or develops structural abnormalities such as thyroid nodules or goitre.

Early diagnosis and regular follow-up are essential for maintaining optimal thyroid health.
