THYROID DISORDERS IN ADULTS
Thyroid disorders for adults can range from a small, harmless goiter (enlarged gland) that needs no treatment to life-threatening cancer.
The most common thyroid problems involve abnormal production of thyroid hormones. Too much thyroid hormone results in a condition known as hyperthyroidism. Insufficient hormone production leads to hypothyroidism.
Although the effects can be unpleasant or uncomfortable, most thyroid problems can be managed well if properly diagnosed and treated.
