What is the thyroid gland?
The thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of your neck. It produces hormones that regulate metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and other vital functions.
What are thyroid disorders?
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland produces too much or too little thyroid hormone. Common thyroid disorders include hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer.

How is thyroid function tested?
