Hyperthyroidism: It is a condition in which the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroxine hormone. It increases the body’s metabolism and causes unintentional weight loss. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Grave’s disease (autoimmune disease), which occurs mostly in women. Other causes include excess iodine, inflammation of the thyroid gland, tumours of tests or ovaries, benign tumours of the pituitary gland or thyroid, or if large amounts of tetraiodothyronine are taken through dietary supplements. The symptoms include unexpected weight loss, irregular or rapid heartbeat, irritability, and sweating. Hyperthyroidism can be treated by medication, radioactive iodine, and sometimes surgery.
