Mr Somashekar, Thyroid is the gland present in every one, it produces hormone thyroxine which is necessary from development of brain, plus all the important metabolic activities in the body. Deficiency of this hormone causes hypothyroidism and excess causes hyperthyroidism. Commonly seen problem is hypothyroidism. This causes weight gain, cold intolerance, swelling of face, and lower limbs, difficulty in speech, inability to concentrate, hair fall, dry skin, psychological problems. Replacement with thyroxine hormone is the only treatment.
