Thyroid Disorder
Thyroid is a gland situated in front of the neck below Adam’s apple. It has right and left lobes that give it butterfly-shaped appearance. The hormones (T3 & T4,) produced by this gland control the body’s metabolism.
Common thyroid problems
The common thyroid problems involve abnormal production of thyroid hormones. If thyroid hormone increased in secretion, it is known as hyperthyroidism. Insufficient hormone production leads to hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid makes too much T4, T3, or both.
Cause
Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Benign tumors of the thyroid or pituitary gland, excess iodine in diet, inflammation of the thyroid, and tumors of the ovaries or testes are the other cause for hyperthyroidism.
Symptoms

Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is a condition where your thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone.
Cause
People who develop a particular inflammatory disorder known as Hashimoto's thyroiditis have the most common cause of hypothyroidism. Radiation used to treat cancers of the head and neck, Iodine deficiency, pregnancy and thyroid surgery are the other cause for hypothyroidism.
Symptoms
Hypothyroidism can cause obesity, joint pain, heart disease, and infertility. Increased sensitivity to cold, constipation, depression, fatigue, weakness, heavier menstrual flow, brittle hair and nails are the other indication of hypothyroidism.
