Did you know that the thyroid influences almost every system in your body?
The thyroid gland is a small organ in the neck, but it plays a crucial role in the health of the entire body. It produces hormones that regulate metabolism, growth, energy, and even emotional balance.
✔ When the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism), symptoms may include fatigue, dry skin, hair loss, memory issues, and low mood.
✔ When it is overactive (hyperthyroidism), symptoms often include rapid heartbeat, irritability, weight loss, hand tremors, and sleep problems.
The thyroid is especially important for women, as its hormones affect the menstrual cycle, fertility, and pregnancy. Iodine deficiency can cause goiter — enlargement of the gland, which may lead to difficulty breathing or swallowing.
Modern diagnostics include:
✔ Blood tests for thyroid hormones.
✔ Ultrasound examination.
✔ Biopsy of nodules if necessary.
Treatment depends on the disorder and may involve hormone replacement therapy, medication to reduce thyroid activity, or surgery.
Prevention is linked to sufficient iodine intake, which is especially important for children, adolescents, and pregnant women.
Keeping your thyroid healthy means maintaining energy, stable mood, and strong overall health.
