Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine disorder in which the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. This leads to an overactive metabolism and results in symptoms such as weight loss, sweating, increased appetite, and sensitivity to heat. Hyperthyroidism can cause serious health problems if left untreated, including heart problems and osteoporosis. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce thyroid hormone levels, as well as lifestyle changes to manage symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. Regular monitoring is necessary to ensure that the condition is controlled.

Most nodules are cysts filled with fluid or with a stored form of thyroid hormone called colloid. Solid nodules have little fluid or colloid. These nodules are more likely to be cancerous than are fluid-filled nodules. Some types of solid nodules, such as hyperplastic nodules and adenomas, have too many cells, but the cells are not cancer cells.
