Graves’ Disease
Graves’ disease is a type of autoimmune disorder that might cause the thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormones than needed, also known as hyperthyroidism. The condition would make our bodies generate a protein called TSI or thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin. It can attack the thyroid gland and cause swelling. Due to hormonal imbalance, you are more likely to develop goiters. Some other typical signs of Graves’ disease include weight loss, heat sensitivity, anxiety, frequent bowel movements, as well as bulging eyes. There are many treatment options for the condition. Two common choices are thyroid replacement hormones and radioactive. [9]
