Thyroid is not a disease, but a gland. It secretes T3 and T4 hormones. Over-production (Hyperthyroidism) and under-production (Hypothyroidism) causes problems.


Hyperthyroidism causes grave's disease (Antibodies resulting in overactivity), multinodular goitre (overactive lumps in the thyroid) and thyroiditis (viral infection).Hypothyroidism occurs as Hashimoto's thyroiditis (autoimmune disease) and Subacute thyroiditis (viral infection resulting in swelling).
