Effective treatment for Hyperthyroidism

Definition Excessive secretion of thyroid hormones in the body is called as hyperthyroidism. Thyroid is an endocrine gland (which secretes hormone- thyroxin T4 (Tetraiodothyronine/Thyroxine) and T3 (Triiodothyronine) situated in the midline and base of the neck. These hormones are essential for maintaining harmony of various body functions. Thyroid hormones govern the speed of metabolic activities and have positive influence on growth of an individual (mental and physical). Because thyroid hormones affect growth, development and many cellular processes, excess of thyroid hormones has widespread consequences on the body. Causes There are many causes, in most cases the entire gland is producing more hormones, this is seen in Graves disease. Graves disease is actually an auto-immune disorder in which the bodys immune system mistakenly starts attacking its own cells (in this case the thyroid gland) resulting in inflammation and enlargement of the gland (Goiter) and production of excess hormones. In some cases, there is a particular solitary nodule in the gland that is producing more hormones; there may also be multiple such nodules in the gland Inflammation of the thyroid gland (Thyroiditis) due to any other cause can also result in hyperthyroidism.
