The thyroid is a gland in the front of our neck and plays a vital role in our body’s metabolism. The thyroid gland is part of the endocrine system, which is ultimately responsible for our body’s production of hormones. The thyroid makes 2 specific hormones: T3 and T4, which regulate our metabolism. When the thyroid gland is not functioning properly it can affect thyroid hormone production. Many symptoms or problems can develop due to abnormal thyroid hormone levels. With either too much or too little thyroid hormone your heart rate, body temperature, weight, energy level, and overall mood can be affected. Thyroid conditions and disorders can develop from a multitude of causes and women are more likely to be affected than men. Goiters, nodules, and masses can significantly alter thyroid function and hormone levels. Medications, neck surgery, autoimmune disorders, and inflammation of the thyroid are additional common causes of thyroid disorders. The medical team at Dow Medical can help determine the underlying cause of the symptoms
