The thyroid gland, a small gland located in the neck at the base, has a crucial function in regulating many body functions. When this gland is not working properly, it can cause a range of issues, which frequently show their presence in minor signs. Now, it is time to take a closer look at some symptoms that may hint at a thyroid disorder.
Hyperthyroidism is a thyroid disorder characterized by the overproduction of hormones. This overactivity can lead to a spectrum of symptoms, including:
Hypothyroidism is a situation where the thyroid gland does not secrete adequate hormones. Oftentimes, symptoms appear gradually and may include:
It is important to note that these symptoms may occur with other health diseases. If the signs mentioned above are experienced, one should seek medical attention from a specialist who will do a thorough assessment. The serum concentration of thyroid hormones is included among the blood tests to assess thyroid hormones.
As with any other form of disease, it is always advisable to seek early diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders. If not treated early, the two diseases can become very severe; hyperthyroidism can cause hypertension, and hypothyroidism can lead to heart disease.
Recognizing the subtle signs of thyroid dysfunction is key to timely intervention. Nevertheless, despite the differences in symptoms between both conditions, there is symptom crossover in the case of both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. If you experience such symptoms or have any doubt about having a thyroid problem, it is extremely advisable that you consult experienced doctors at UniQ Pathlab. The patient diagnosed with thyroid disorders should undergo primary examination and treatment as soon as possible so that the further development of complications is excluded.
