Thyroid Hormone TSH

The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone with iodine taken from the foods you eat. Cells work faster when producing high amounts of thyroid hormone. A small amount of thyroid hormone is produced while cells work more slowly. The level of TSH in the blood increases when the level of thyroid hormone in the blood decreases, and also decreases when the level of thyroid hormone increases.

Hypothyroidism

If you have Hypodiroid, your thyroid gland secretes fewer thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism also occurs as a result of not getting enough iodine with nutrients, problems with the pituitary gland, or removal of the thyroid gland. In hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland produces more hormones. The most common cause is graves ' disease. It occurs as a result of the immune system stimulating the thyroid gland. Graves 'disease also sometimes causes problems in the eye, when the eyes are held forward (exophthalmus). Cells in the nodule can produce more hormones than other cells, causing hyperthyroidism.
