But in general, over five million Americans have an underactive thyroid that puts them at an increased risk for obesity. While hypothyroidism is hardly uncommon and is easy to treat, because it is often difficult to detect when symptoms first begin, it can be problematic.
Diseases of the thyroid gland can result in either production of too much (overactive thyroid disease or hyperthyroidism), too little (underactive thyroid disease or hypothyroidism) thyroid hormone, thyroid nodules, and/or goiter. Thyroid problems are much more common in women than in men. The most common cause of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism occurs due to problems within the thyroid and not the regulatory system. 2  Thyroid goiter: Thyroid goiter is any enlargement of the thyroid that can occur with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism but also with benign and malignant (cancerous) nodules.
