Thyroid diseases are the most common diseases that occur when conditions affect the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland that is a butterfly-shaped and in front of the neck, wrapped around the windpipe (trachea), just below the larynx. The production of hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) is its main purpose. Its function affects nearly every organ of the human body. The thyroid is controlled by the pituitary gland secretes a hormone known as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). TSH then instructed the thyroid gland on how much hormone to make and release. But it also responds to signals from the hypothalamus, secretes thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH). TRH then causes the pituitary to release TSH, which signals the thyroid gland. The thyroid creates and releases hormones. When your thyroid makes either too little or too much of these important hormones, it’s called a thyroid disease. When the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone to meet your body’s needs, this is called hypothyroidism, and when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone, this is called hyperthyroidism. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are the two particularly common types of thyroid disease
