Types

Identification

• Thyroid disease may cause a goiter, which is a small bulge at the base of your neck. You can detect a goiter when you swallow by looking in a mirror or feeling it.
  
  

Symptoms

• Inherited thyroid disorders make your metabolism off balance, causing appetite increases, weight gain, excessive fatigue, cold sensitivity and depression.
  
  

Prevention/Solution

• If you suspect you have thyroid disease, see an endocrinologist, a doctor who specializes in endocrine gland treatment. Treatment varies depending on the type and severity of thyroid disorder.
  
  

Warning

• An inherited thyroid goiter can develop nodules, which are fluid-filled cysts. In rare cases, according to the AACE, these nodules can develop into cancer.
