The top Thyroid doctor of Mumbai What is the thyroid gland? Named after the Greek word for an oblong shield, ‘thureos’, the thyroid is an endocrine gland that is located in the base of your neck. From a frontal view, it closely resembles the shape of a butterfly. This endocrine gland is responsible for the release of hormones that regulate your body metabolism. In other words, the thyroid hormones regulate the way that your body uses energy. It is therefore very important in controlling various functions such as: Breathing Central and peripheral nervous systems Muscle strength Menstrual cycles Heart rate Body weight Body temperature Cholesterol levels etc. The gland is around 2 inches long, has 2 lobers and is located behind the area commonly referred to as the Adam’s apple Functions of the thyroid & parathyroid glands The main function of both these glands, as shared earlier, is to release hormones that help regulate the metabolism in the body. The thyroid uses dietary iodine to make T3 & T4. The hypothalamus and the pituitary glands, located in the brain, in-turn control the function of the thyroid and parathyroid glands. The Hypothalamus releases TRH (thyrotropin-releasing hormone) which stimulates the pituitary to release TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone), thereby regulating the thyroid. The hormones relased by the Thyroid are: T3 (Triiodothyronine) & T4 (Thyroxine) The Parathyroid gland releases the parathyroid hormone. It is very important for the body to function properly, that T3 and T4 be present in the right quantities and neither too high, nor too low. T3 & T4 reach almost every cell in the body and regulate the speed at whih metabolism works. It will therefore regulate how quickly you digest food, or how quick your heart beats. If the levels are low, it would lead to weight gain for example. Similarly, if the levels are too high, it would lead to a high heart rate. The parathyroid hormone regulates the release and absorption of calcium in the bones, kidneys and intestines.

Several factors can contribute to thyroid swelling: Graves’ Disease: An autoimmune disorder causing overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: An autoimmune condition that attacks the thyroid, reducing hormone production (hypothyroidism). Thyroid Nodules: Lumps that can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Iodine Deficiency: Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production. Symptoms of Thyroid Swelling While a swollen thyroid gland itself might be noticeable, other symptoms can occur, depending on the underlying cause: Lump in the neck Difficulty swallowing Hoarseness Changes in weight or energy levels Anxiety or irritability (hyperthyroidism) Fatigue, dry skin, and feeling cold (hypothyroidism) Tailored Treatment Options for Thyroid Swelling Treatment for a swollen thyroid will depend on the specific cause and severity.
