Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Thyroid is a hormone secreting gland present in all of us. It produces Thyroxine an essential hormone. Therefore related to that gland are either excess production, (hyperthyroidism) or less or absence of production (Hypothyroidism) are the conditions. These are not speading by contact. Thanks.
