Thyroid Dysfunction.

Thyroid dysfunction is a common medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, plays a critical role in regulating the body's metabolism and controlling many of its functions. When the thyroid gland is not functioning correctly, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms and health problems. These can include fatigue, weight changes, hair loss, mood changes, and many others.
