World Thyroid Day is being observed across the globe today to raise awareness about thyroid disorders, promote early diagnosis, and encourage proactive management of thyroid health.
The day serves as a reminder for individuals to seek medical attention if they suspect any
thyroid-related issues. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of the neck. Though small in size, its role is enormous. It produces hormones that regulate critical functions, including metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, energy levels, menstrual health, and mental well-being.
