💡 What is the Thyroid Gland?
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck. It produces two essential hormones: Triiodothyronine (T3) and Thyroxine (T4). These hormones regulate key bodily functions such as metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, weight control, emotional stability, and energy levels.
When the thyroid produces too much or too little hormone, it can lead to serious health conditions.
Thyroid disorders primarily fall into two categories:
• Hormonal dysfunction – where the thyroid produces either an excessive or insufficient amount of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4)
• Enlargement of the gland – commonly referred to as a “goiter,” this may involve general swelling of the thyroid or the presence of nodules and lumps
Overactive thyroid function can lead to hyperthyroidism, while underactive function may result in hypothyroidism.
🟥 Hyperthyroidism
Definition: The thyroid gland produces excessive T3 and T4, accelerating the body’s metabolism.
Common Symptoms:
Palpitations, hand tremors, insomnia, mood swings
Unexplained weight loss despite increased appetite
High Cholesterol, Cardiovascular Disease, Depression, Infertility, Myxedema Coma
The thyroid is a vital regulator of your body’s metabolic and hormonal balance. Unmanaged thyroid dysfunction can seriously impair your quality of life or even become life-threatening.

According to the Hong Kong Cancer Registry,thyroid cancer ranked 9th among the top ten most common cancers in 2022. Based on the crude incidence rate, there were approximately 14 new cases per 100,000 people in the population.
Women are significantly more affected, with a female-to-male incidence ratio of approximately 3.6 to 1.
As early-stage thyroid cancer often presents with no obvious symptoms, regular check-ups are essential for early detection and timely treatment.
