Thyroid gland is a small butterfly shaped organ located in the neck wrapped around the trachea. It produces hormones that manage the vital functions of the body. As such the thyroid gland plays a vital role in all the metabolic processes in the body. Thyroid disorders can range from a goitre, which needs no treatment, to thyroid cancer, which can be life threatening. The most common thyroid disorders relate to too much or too little production of thyroid hormones, conditions termed as Hyperthroidism & hypothyroidism.
