Thyroid Disorders

What Are Thyroid Disorders?

Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland produces a hormone imbalance, affecting various bodily functions. Common types include hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroiditis, each with distinct symptoms. Treatment options include medication, surgery, and other therapies, providing successful management for most cases.

The thyroid gland, located in the neck, produces hormones that regulate blood pressure, metabolism, and other hormone reactions. Thyroid disorders have symptoms like sweating and weight loss or fatigue and weight gain. Other conditions, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid tumors, and thyroid cancer, require specialized care. For comprehensive care and personalized thyroid disorder treatment, count on Schneck.
