Hyperthyroidism: Understanding the Overactive Thyroid Gland
Have you been feeling anxious, losing weight without trying, or experiencing irregular heartbeats? These could be symptoms of hyperthyroidism, a condition where the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. In India, hyperthyroidism affects around 1% of the population, with women being more prone to the condition than men.
The thyroid gland, located in the neck, produces hormones that regulate metabolism, heart rate, and body temperature. When the gland produces too much hormone, it can lead to hyperthyroidism. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland.
Other causes of hyperthyroidism include thyroid nodules, inflammation of the thyroid gland, and taking too much thyroid hormone medication. If left untreated, hyperthyroidism can lead to serious health complications such as heart problems, brittle bones, and eye problems.
If you suspect you have hyperthyroidism, it’s important to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment options include medication to block the production of thyroid hormone, radioactive iodine therapy to destroy the thyroid gland, or surgery to remove the gland.
