Thyroid dysfunction occurs when the thyroid gland produces either too much (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism) thyroid hormone, disrupting the body’s hormonal balance. Symptoms can vary widely, including fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, sensitivity to temperature, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating. Left untreated, thyroid dysfunction can adversely affect multiple bodily systems, including the heart, bones, and brain, highlighting the importance of timely diagnosis and management.
