Thyroid - This Tiny Gland Can Be at the Root of Big Health Problems
Located below the Adam’s apple and over the trachea, the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland is one of those body parts that no one thinks about – even when it’s acting up.
Yet thyroid disease is actually very common, with an estimated 20 to 25 million Americans currently receiving treatment. Thyroid disease is also five to seven times more common in women than in men, but the reason for this is not yet known. The good news is that thyroid disorders are easily diagnosed through simple blood tests.
The incidence of thyroid disease increases with age, most commonly occurring in women in their 30s to 50s. It is important to know that the onset of thyroid disease is often subtle. It tends to present gradually and in very subtle ways. Therefore, its symptoms are often ignored or attributed to other causes like menopause or minor health problems.
