What Does the Thyroid Gland Do?
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck. It produces hormones that help control:
Metabolism
Heart rate
Body temperature
Weight regulation
Energy levels
Brain function
Muscle strength
Menstrual cycles
Growth and development
In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid becomes overactive, causing the body's metabolism to accelerate.
Common Causes of Hyperthyroidism
Graves' Disease (Most Common)
- The immune system mistakenly stimulates the thyroid to produce excess hormones.
- Often runs in families.
- May cause eye symptoms such as bulging eyes (thyroid eye disease).
Toxic Thyroid Nodules
- One or more thyroid nodules produce thyroid hormones independently.
Thyroiditis
- Inflammation causes stored thyroid hormones to leak into the bloodstream.
- Can occur after viral infections, pregnancy, or autoimmune conditions.
Excess Thyroid Hormone Medication
- Taking too much thyroid replacement medicine.
Excess Iodine Intake
- Certain medications or contrast dyes may trigger hyperthyroidism in susceptible individuals.
