Find a DoctorUnderstanding Thyroid Health & Its Impact on Your Body
Mar 2, 2026
In this video, Dr. Aprajita Pradhan, Senior Consultant & Unit Head – Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Max Super Speciality Hospital, Dwarka, explains why thyroid hormones are vital for the normal functioning of the body.
The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall organ function. Any imbalance in thyroid hormone levels can affect multiple organs, including the brain, heart, eyes, skin, and hair. This is particularly important in growing children, women of childbearing age, and individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.
Thyroid disorders are broadly classified into hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. In hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone levels are lower than normal, which may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, facial or leg swelling, brain fog, and hair loss. In hyperthyroidism, excess thyroid hormone can cause unintentional weight loss, hand tremors, palpitations, and frequent loose motions.
If you notice any concerning symptoms, timely consultation and appropriate testing are essential for early diagnosis and effective management.
