The thyroid gland influences almost all of the metabolic processes in your body. Thyroid disorders can range from a small, harmless goiter to more severe forms of cancer. Too much thyroid hormone in the body results in a condition known as hyperthyroidism. Insufficient hormone production leads to hypothyroidism.

Most thyroid problems can be managed well if properly diagnosed and treated.

Types of Hyperthyroid problems

Graves' disease: Excessive production of thyroid hormone.
Toxic adenomas: Nodules develop in the thyroid gland and begin to secrete thyroid hormones, upsetting the body's chemical balance; some goiters may contain several of these nodules.

Subacute thyroiditis: Inflammation of the thyroid that causes the gland to "leak" excess hormones.

Pituitary gland malfunctions or cancerous growths in the thyroid gland: Although rare, hyperthyroidism can also develop from these causes.

Types of Hypothyroid problems
Hashimoto's thyroiditis : The body attacks the thyroid tissues, causing them to stop producing hormones.

Removal of the thyroid gland: This causes lack of hormones
Exposure to excessive amounts of iodide: Too much iodine puts you at a greater risk for developing hypothyroidism.
