Main Causes of Thyroid Problems

The thyroid produces thyroid hormone that controls many activities in your body, including how fast you burn calories and how fast your heartbeats. The diseases of the thyroid cause it to make either too much or too little of the hormone. Depending on the amount of hormone(either high or low) your thyroid produces, you may often feel restless or tired, or you may lose or gain weight.

  3. What is the meaning of thyroid? Thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland attached at the base of your neck, and it is just below your Adam's apple. This gland makes thyroid hormone that moves in your blood all over the body. The thyroid hormone controls metabolism of the body in various ways, including how fast you burn calories and how fast your heartbeats.

The variation in thyroid hormone can make periods very light or heavy and irregular. Thyroid disease also can cause your periods to stop for several months or longer, and a condition called amenorrhea. If your body's immune system causes thyroid disease then other glands like ovaries, may be involved. This can be the cause of early menopause (before age 40).
