Thyroid

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. It produces hormones that influence nearly every organ system in the body. When the thyroid is overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism), it can lead to a range of symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, and temperature sensitivity. Proper diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders are essential for maintaining hormonal harmony and overall health.
