Thyroid Gland, Thyroid Hormones and Thyroid Disorders Introduction

In India, thyroid issues are widespread, with approximately 10% of the population affected. This article provides an overview of the thyroid gland, its hormone production, and related disorders. The thyroid gland, located at the neck's base, resembles a butterfly shape. It releases two vital hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). Collectively known as thyroid hormones, these regulate various bodily functions. Furthermore, the thyroid produces calcitonin, a hormone involved in maintaining calcium levels in the body.
