A large ductless gland lying in front and on either side of the trachea and secreting the hormone thyroxine, which regulates body growth and metabolism....The malfunctioning or congenital absence of this gland can cause goiter cretinism..
A blood test is the best way to determine if you have Hypothyroidism (sluggish) or Hyperthyroidism (always on the go and doing something all the time)
I am Hypo (sluggish and tired all the time) overweight, hard to lose...My Mom was Hyper always busy and thin.....Either way , you will be on thyroid meds for the rest of your life and they need to be checked every 6 months to 1 year..by your family Dr. or Endocrinologist................
