Overview
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that produces hormones responsible for regulating metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and various vital functions. Thyroid disorders occur when the gland produces too much or too little hormone, leading to conditions such as hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Early diagnosis and proper treatment help maintain hormonal balance and overall well-being.
