Hormonal Imbalance in Thyroid Gland

Hormonal imbalance in the thyroid gland occurs when the thyroid produces too much or too little of its hormones, mainly thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). This imbalance can lead to conditions like hyperthyroidism (excess hormone production) or hypothyroidism (insufficient hormone production). Symptoms may include weight changes, fatigue, mood swings, and changes in heart rate. The thyroid, located in the neck, regulates metabolism and energy levels, so any imbalance can significantly impact overall health. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help restore hormone levels and alleviate associated symptoms.
