A look at the Thyroid

The thyroid is an endocrine gland common to all mammals. When people say "I have a thyroid" they are not talking about a disease or a medical problem. It is a poorly formulated phrase. All of us have thyroid, we were born with that gland in the same way that we are born with lungs or nose. The difference is that it is not easily seen and only when it malfunctions do people become aware of its existence. The thyroid is an organ like the heart or the brain and, although it is more discreet and less known than these, its function is just as important for our body. What is goiter? What is thyroiditis? What can we do about goiter or thyroiditis? This material provides in a practical and scientific way what to do in situations such as goiter and thyroiditis. In this work the author describes in detail what the thyroid gland is, how it works, how to explore it as well as symptoms and signs that people suffering from these disorders may present and their treatment.
