hormones it produces, the thyroid influences most of the metabolic processes in your body. Thyroid disorders ranges from a little, harmless goiter (enlarged gland) that needs no treatment to life-threatening cancer. Too much
hormone leads to a condition referred to as hyperthyroidism. Insufficient
hormone production leads to hypothyroidism. Although the consequences are often unpleasant or uncomfortable, most thyroid problems are often managed well if properly diagnosed and treated.
