What is Thyroid?
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck. It produces two important hormones:
T3 (Triiodothyronine)
T4 (Thyroxine)
These hormones play a vital role in regulating:
Body metabolism
Body temperature
Heart rate
Body weight
Growth and development
Mental alertness
When the thyroid gland does not function properly, it leads to thyroid disorders.
What are Thyroid Disorders?
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland produces:
Too little thyroid hormone – Hypothyroidism
Too much thyroid hormone – Hyperthyroidism
Both conditions can affect overall health if not diagnosed and treated on time.
Types of Thyroid Disorders
1. Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces insufficient amounts of T3 and T4 hormones.
👉 In India, nearly 90–95% of thyroid patients suffer from hypothyroidism.
2. Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces excess thyroid hormones.
👉 Worldwide, hyperthyroidism is more commonly observed compared to India.
Causes of Hypothyroidism
Iodine Deficiency
Inadequate intake of iodine-rich foods
Poor iodine intake during pregnancy
One of the most common causes of hypothyroidism in India
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
An autoimmune disorder
The immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland
Gradually reduces thyroid hormone production
Leading cause of hypothyroidism worldwide
Causes of Hyperthyroidism
Graves’ Disease (Autoimmune disorder)
Toxic multinodular goiter
Overactive thyroid nodules
Excess intake of thyroid medications
Negative Feedback Mechanism
When T3 and T4 levels decrease, the brain releases more TSH, leading to hypothyroidism
When T3 and T4 levels increase, TSH levels decrease, leading to hyperthyroidism
This natural control system is called the Negative Feedback Mechanism.
