Thyroid Disorders

Thyroid and Other Endocrine Disorders

Thyroid disorders are among the most common endocrine issues after diabetes. The thyroid gland produces thyroxin, a vital hormone that regulates the body’s metabolic rate.

Hyperthyroidism

Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroxin. This condition is often linked to an autoimmune response, leading to the formation of antibodies that overstimulate the thyroid gland. It may also run in families. Symptoms include:

  • Nervousness, palpitations, tremors, diarrhea, and insomnia.
  • Increased metabolic rate causing warmth, sweating, increased appetite, and weight loss.
  • Eye problems such as redness, tearing, swelling, and double vision (Graves’ Ophthalmopathy). Severe cases may require referral to an eye specialist.

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is the result of insufficient thyroxin production, often due to radio-iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism. Symptoms include:

  • Cold intolerance, lethargy, leg cramps, dry skin, constipation, and weight gain.
