What Is Thyroid Disease?
1. The Thyroid Gland
The thyroid is a small gland that is found in the neck. We don’t usually know it is there, but it performs some very important functions for us. This is mainly the production and secretion of hormones that are important for the day to day functioning of our bodies.
Some people will develop problems with their thyroid gland, and this can impact the levels of hormones in our body. It has the potential to make us quite ill and the more severe cases can even be dangerous to us. When the thyroid is affected in this way, it is generally known as thyroid disease.
