Have you ever noticed a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck? Yes it is the thyroid gland which produces thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones reach complete body via blood, where they perform their work. Thyroid hormones influence metabolism process i.e. they control our muscles, brain, liver, heart and other body work. Thyroid disorder can be a harmless goiter which doesn’t require any treatment or it can be life-threatening cancer.

CAUSES OF THYROID
Thyroid is mostly caused because of irregular production of thyroid hormones. Excessive production of hormones results in hyperthyroidism, while less production of hormones causes hypothyroidism.
Hyperthyroidism can be caused because of:
Graves’ disease: This results in excessive production of thyroid hormones.
Toxic Adenomas: This is caused because of development of nodules in thyroid gland which secrete excess hormones, thus disturbing body’s chemical balance.
Sub-acute Thyroiditis: It is caused because of inflammation in thyroid, thus leaking additional hormones. This results in temporary hyperthyroidism.
CAUSES OF HYPOTHYROIDISM
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: In this disease, our body causes harm to thyroid tissue, thus disabling its hormone-producing capability.
Removal of thyroid gland: Hypothyroidism can also be caused if your thyroid gland is removed surgically or else it is destroyed chemically.
Intake of extreme amounts of iodine: Medications taken for heart, sinus, or other diseases may inject too much iodine in your body, thus disturbing hormones’ balance.
Your body will be at great risk of getting hypothyroidism if you had thyroid problems in the past.
