BSR ENT is a practice dedicated to advancing patient education and care with a preventive approach. With a focus on patient care, our staff and doctors constantly work on upgrading their knowledge on advancements in treatments and technologies to deliver best results. Thyroid disorders occur when the production of the thyroid hormone is too much (overactive thyroid disease or hyperthyroidism), or too little (underactive thyroid disease or hypothyroidism). Thyroid glands are shape like butterfly and are located in front of the trachea (wind pipe) below the voice box (larynx). Thyroid glands produce thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). These hormones play an important role in regulating body temperature, energy, body's use of other hormones and vitamins, metabolic rate and also help in the growth and maturating of the body tissues. Thyroid disorders sometimes lead to enlargement of the thyroid gland. Generally, women are more likely than men to have thyroid disorder, especially after pregnancy and menopause.
