The thyroid gland is an important endocrine organ in the human body, and its main function is to synthesize and secrete thyroid hormones to promote the body’s energy, material metabolism and growth and development.
The thyroid gland can synthesize thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which can act on all tissues of the body, regulate the metabolism of the human body, maintain the normal growth and development of the body, and have a certain effect on the development of the brain and skeletal muscles.
If hyperthyroidism occurs, it will cause patients to experience high metabolic symptoms, such as fear of heat, palpitations, irritability, polyphagia, and increased bowel movements, etc. If hypothyroidism occurs, it will cause low metabolic symptoms, such as chills, mucous edema, and memory loss.
People who suspect abnormal thyroid function can go to regular hospitals for further clarification.
