Thyroid gland plays an important part in metabolism and other physiological functions. Many people suffer from thyroid diseases without being aware of it. Women happen to be the most susceptible to hypothyroidism and iodine deficiency is not the only cause of a thyroid disease. Hypothyroidism symptoms are easy to overlook because they can be confused with other unrelated symptoms. As a result, many diseases of the thyroid gland are not timely diagnosed and treated. A high prevalence of instances of this particular endocrine disorder makes it imperative to raise awareness and provide quality information for its proper diagnostics and treatment.
