Thyroid disorders are widespread, affecting millions globally. Around 42 million people in India suffer from thyroid diseases, impacting daily life with symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings.

According to the International Journal of Medical and Health Research, thyroid conditions, including hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, affect millions. The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) V (2019-2021) reported a 2.9% prevalence of goitre or thyroid disorders.This blog talks about different types of thyroid disorders and effective management strategies.

Understanding Types of Thyroid Disorders

Here are the main types of thyroid disorders, which can affect the function, structure, or overall health of the thyroid gland:

  • Primary Hypothyroidism:This is the most common form of hypothyroidism, where the thyroid gland itself is underactive, usually due to autoimmune diseases (like Hashimoto's thyroiditis) or iodine deficiency. Symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, and depression.
  • Secondary Hypothyroidism: This type occurs when the pituitary gland fails to produce enough thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), making low thyroid hormone. It can cause symptoms like low energy, dry skin, and hair loss.
  • Tertiary Hypothyroidism:In this case, the hypothalamus doesn't release enough thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH), which affects thyroid hormone production. It is rare and presents symptoms similar to primary hypothyroidism.
  • Hyperthyroidism:Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland is overactive & produces too much thyroid hormone. It can lead to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and excessive sweating. Common causes include Graves' disease or thyroid nodules.
  • Subclinical Hypothyroidism:In this milder form, thyroid hormone levels are slightly low, but the patient may not experience significant symptoms. However, it can still lead to long-term health issues if not managed, and early detection is key.

FAQs

How many types of thyroid disorders are there?

There are several types of thyroid, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, Graves’ disease, and subclinical hypothyroidism. Each type varies in cause, symptoms, and treatment approach.

What is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is caused by an underactive thyroid, leading to fatigue, weight gain, and depression. Hyperthyroidism is due to an overactive thyroid, causing weight loss, anxiety, and rapid heartbeat.

What is subclinical hypothyroidism?

Subclinical hypothyroidism occurs when TSH levels are slightly elevated, but T3 and T4 levels remain normal. It often shows mild or no symptoms and requires monitoring.

What causes autoimmune thyroid disorders like Hashimoto’s and Graves’ disease?

Autoimmune thyroid disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. Hashimoto’s typically leads to hypothyroidism, while Graves’ disease causes hyperthyroidism.

Can homeopathy help manage different types of thyroid problems?

Yes, homeopathy offers personalised remedies that address the root causes of different thyroid disorders, aiming to restore hormonal balance and improve long-term well-being.
