Thyroid

Thyroid is a small gland situated in the neck. It is one of the most important glands in the body. The principal function of the thyroid gland is the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormones, which circulate in the body through the blood stream and exert their effects on every living tissue and cell. There are two principal thyroid hormones secreted by the thyroid, thyroxine(T4) and tri-iodothyronine (T3). If the hormone production is not enough, then it is called as hypothyroidism and if the synthesis is more, then as hyperthyroidism. These two conditions are due to variations in the functional activity of the gland. The synthesis and secretion of these two hormones is controlled by another hormone called TSH (Thyroid stimulating Hormone) from pituitary gland. The values of TSH shall help in evaluating thyroidal disorders, if any, and in confirming the status of the thyroid gland, whether it is hypo or hyper or eu-thyroid. The signs and symptoms of Thyroid disorders are: swelling in the neck • difficulty in swallowing • intolerance to cold • fatigue • hoarse voice • dry skin • mood swings • depression • forgetfulness • heavy menstrual periods.....GET YOUR THYROID TEST DONE TODAY FOR ONLY Rs. 300/-.
