The thyroid is an endocrine gland that produces hormones. These control the rate at which the body burns calories or heartbeat.
The thyroid gland may suffer various diseases:
- The thyroid is enlarged
- Hyperthyroidism: When the gland produces more thyroid hormone than necessary
- Hypothyroidism occurs when not enough hormone
- Thyroid cancer
- Thyroid nodules: lumps in the gland
- Thyroiditis: swelling of the gland
