WHAT IS THYROID ?<\/span><\/h2>\n
\n
\n
Thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in our neck, just above our collarbone. It is one of our endocrine glands, which make hormones. Thyroid hormones control the rate of many activities in our body. These include how fast we burn calories and how fast our heart beats. It plays a major role in metabolism, growth and development of the human body. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxin) into the bloodstream.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
How much of thyroid hormones are needed to be released is controlled by TSH (Thyroid Stimulating hormones). TSH is released by our pituitary gland located in brain. Good functioning of thyroid gland depends on enough amount of iodine intake. Deficiency of iodine leads to malfunctioning of thyroid gland; it causes imbalance in production of thyroid hormones. Due to imbalance of hormones, thyroid gland produces either too much or too less hormones (T3 & T4). <\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Hypothyroid is a condition when thyroid gland produces too less hormones. This stimulates hypothalamus to order pituitary gland to produce more TSH in order to balance T3, T4 levels which bring TSH level higher than normal. It affects many body functions regulated by thyroid gland. <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
Women are affected by thyroid disease at much higher rate than men. The American Thyroid Association reports that women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to have thyroid problems and that 1 in 8 women will develop a thyroid problem (most of the time hypothyroid )during her life time.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Hypothyroidism:<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid disease, is a common disorder. With hypothyroidism, your thyroid gland does not make enough thyroid hormone (T3, T4). How much of thyroid hormones are needed to be released is controlled by TSH (Thyroid Stimulating hormones) produced by pituitary gland. Hormones released by the gland travel through the bloodstream and affect nearly every part of the body, from the heart and brain, to the muscles and skin.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Major Functions Performed by Thyroid Gland<\/b><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The thyroid controls how body’s cells use energy from food by a process called metabolism. Among other things, the metabolism affects body\u2019s temperature, heartbeat, and process of burning calories. If we don’t have enough thyroid hormone, our body processes slow down. That means our body makes less energy, and our metabolism becomes sluggish (slowdown metabolism).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Common Causes of Hypothyroidism :<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
There are a number of causes of hypothyroidism. Approximately 90% of primary hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis (inflammation of thyroid gland), an autoimmune disease in which our immune system mistakenly attacks our thyroid gland to make antibodies.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Other causes of hypothyroidism causes are iodine deficiency (due to low iodine intake in diet), a genetic disorder, pituitary gland damage, hypothalamus disorders, certain medications, and surgery that removes part of the thyroid.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
Thyroid problems in a pregnant woman can affect the developing baby. During the first three months of pregnancy, the baby receives all thyroid hormone from mother. If mother has hypothyroidism, the baby does not get enough thyroid hormone. This can lead to problems with mental development of baby.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
