Type of thyroid problem

Usually, there are two types of thyroid problems – hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which glands produce excess hormones that cause many internal problems. An overactive thyroid usually causes excessive secretion of TSH in the bloodstream, Grave's disease, and the formation of nodules in the glands. On the other hand, hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland causes less essential hormone production, which further hampers the normal function of many related organs. Both of these conditions are dangerous to the human body system, so it is important to maintain the health of the thyroid gland.
