Many women experience thyroid gland issues, with the most common disorders being hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Thyroid dysfunction can cause a wide range of health problems—from fatigue and weight gain to psychological effects. Here’s an overview of some common thyroid problems:
- Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid):
- Leads to an excessive production of thyroid hormones.
- Symptoms may include unexplained weight loss, anxiety, and increased heart rate.
- Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid):
- Results in insufficient production of thyroid hormones.
- Can cause weight gain, fatigue, and low energy levels.
- Thyroiditis (Inflammation of the Thyroid):
- Occurs due to inflammation in the thyroid gland.
- May lead to pain in the thyroid area and enlargement of the gland.
- Goiter or Thyroid Nodules:
- Characterized by the presence of lumps or nodules within the thyroid gland.
- These nodules are often non-cancerous but can affect gland function.
- Hormonal Imbalances During Pregnancy:
- Thyroid problems may arise during pregnancy, potentially affecting fetal development.
For accurate diagnosis and treatment, it’s always best to consult a physician, as managing these conditions may require medication, hormone therapy, or lifestyle changes
