Thyroid Disease refers to disorders that affect the thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck. When the thyroid produces too little of the hormones, throxine(T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), it can lead to a variety of thyroid diseases like:

• Hypothroidism (Underactive Thyroid): occurs when the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones, leading to a slowdown of bodily functions.
• Hyperthroidism (Overactive Thyroid): occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone, accelerating the body's metabolism.
