Thyroid gland is one of the important glands in our body, it is located in front of the neck. It is a butterfly shaped gland wrapped around the trachea. The hypothalamus present in brain produce TRH (thyrotropin releasing hormone) leads pituitary gland to release TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) hormone. This TSH hormone stimulates thyroid gland to release T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). These two hormones are then released into body fluids and these hormones reach each and every cell in our body and helps in metabolism. These two hormones affect our heart, nervous system, growth and development, fertility and metabolic rate.
When these hypothalamus, pituitary or thyroid gland fails to produce hormones then these hormonal imbalances leads to three types of thyroid problems namely hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism and goitre.
