Second Opinion on Thyroid diseases

Expert opinions and online advice on thyroid diseases delivered via your computer or mobile device. Second opinion is available wherever there is an internet. All you need is a PC or a smartphone.

The thyroid gland is a vital hormone gland. It plays a major role in metabolism, growth and maturation of the body and helps regulate numerous bodily functions. To do this, it constantly releases a certain amount of thyroid hormones into the blood. If the metabolism requires more energy in certain situations, such as in cold weather or during pregnancy, it produces more hormones accordingly.

Thyroid diseases can occur at any age.

Basically, a distinction is made between malfunctions (hyper- and hypofunction) and changes in size and condition (enlargements, nodules, tumors). Often there are overlaps and mixed forms.
