Silver Spring Health:  Thyroid Awareness Month

The Thyroid Gland

  • The thyroid gland is the small, butterfly-shaped gland found just below the Adam’s apple.
  • The thyroid gland produces hormones that influence essentially every organ, tissue and cell in the body. In short, if the thyroid doesn’t work properly, neither do you.

Who Has Thyroid Disease

  • 27 million Americans have overactive or underactive thyroid glands but more than half remain undiagnosed.
  • More than 8 out of 10 patients with thyroid disease are women.
  • Women are 5 to 8 times more likely than men to suffer from hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
  • Fifteen to 20 percent of people with diabetes and their siblings or parents are likely to develop thyroid disease.
