WHAT IS THYROID?

Thyroid is a butterfly shaped structure present in the lower part of our neck just in front of the trachea or the windpipe. It consists of two lobes – right and left, joined by a narrow strip of tissue called Isthmus. Thyroid is basically an endocrine gland present in all human beings from the time of birth.

WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE THYROID GLAND?

Thyroid is a hormone producing gland. It produces and releases into our bloodstream, the thyroid hormones T3 and T4 which are mainly responsible for regulating the metabolism of our body. Whenever the body needs more energy, the thyroid gland produces more hormones.

T3 and T4 help maintain the body weight and temperature and aid in the proper growth and development of an individual. They also control the central and peripheral nervous systems i.e.

the brain and the spinal cord. They regulate the heart rate as well as the breathing pattern. In women they play a crucial role in regulating the menstrual cycles.

This is the reason why, when we consult a doctor with complaints regarding unexplained thinning of hair, facial puffiness, abnormal weight gain or weight loss, excessive bleeding or irregular periods,
the first test that the doctors prescribe is the Thyroid Function Test (TFT), says ENT Specialist Dr. Shree Rao.

WHAT IS ABNORMAL THYROID OR THYROID DISEASE?

Thyroid problems can be classified as Functional abnormalities and Structural abnormalities, explains Ear Surgeon, Dr. Shree Rao.

FUNCTIONAL ABNORMALITIES

Functional abnormalities are of two types. Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism.

At times, the Thyroid gland underperforms and there is a marked decrease in its hormone production. This condition, termed as Hypothyroidism, is very common and can be seen in about 11%
of the Indian population.

In some people, the Thyroid gland becomes overactive or hyperactive and produces hormones much in excess of what is required by the body. This condition is called Hyperthyroidism.

STRUCTURAL ABNORMALITIES

The most common structural abnormality of the Thyroid gland is enlargement or Goiter. Sometimes multiple nodules or multiple bumps appear in the thyroid gland making it seem larger – this is known as Multinodular Goiter.In some cases, diseased cells
can lead to Thyroid Cancer.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN OVERACTIVE OR UNDERACTIVE THYROID GLAND?

According to Dr. Shree Rao, Ear Surgeon, thyroid problems manifest differently in hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

In case of underactive thyroid gland i.e. Hypothyroidism, the symptoms include:

Abnormal weight gain
Reduced appetite
Feeling of dullness
Signs of depression
Lack of concentration
Excessive fatigue
Thinning of hair
Facial puffiness
Dry skin
Constipation etc.

In case of overactive thyroid i.e. Hyperthyroidism, the symptoms are:

Anxiety and irritability
Disturbed sleep & insomnia
Restlessness
Unexplained weight loss
Intolerance to heat
Swollen lymph nodes
Pain or discomfort in the neck
Difficulty in breathing
Difficulty in swallowing
Changes in voice or hoarseness etc.

Women may also observe missed periods and inability to conceive apart from many of the above symptoms, adds Dr. Shree Rao.
