The thyroid gland resembles a butterfly in shape and is situated in the neck, just above the collarbone. Functioning as an endocrine gland, it generates hormones. Thyroid issues are prevalent, with women being more susceptible than men.

Thyroid disorders typically fall into two categories:

1. Hyperthyroidism: This condition involves an overproduction of thyroid hormones.
2. Hypothyroidism: Here, the thyroid gland produces insufficient amounts of these hormones.
