Hormonal neck conditions
Thyroid disorders are conditions affecting the thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ in the neck that regulates metabolism through hormone production.
The most common are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), causing symptoms from fatigue and weight changes to heart palpitations.
Other disorders include goiter, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer.
