The thyroid gland produces the hormones T3 (Triiodothyronine) and T4 (Thyroxine), which control the process by which the body&#8217;s cells produce energy, as well as heart rate and body temperature. It is controlled by TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone), which is produced by the pituitary gland in the brain. The condition of low thyroid hormone is called hypothyroidism, and the condition of high thyroid hormone is called hyperthyroidism. Here are the 5 main scientific causes behind thyroid disorders:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d08 \u0d12\u0d30\u0d4a\u0d31\u0d4d\u0d31 \u0d2d\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d24\u0d3f! \u0d24\u0d48\u0d31\u0d4b\u0d2f\u0d4d\u0d21\u0d4d \u0d1c\u0d40\u0d35\u0d3f\u0d24\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d7b | \u0d35\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d3e\u0d32\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d28\u0d3f\u0d2f\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d7b \u0d38\u0d39\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d02\u201dDr Jumana\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8r-YfxG5LZk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Hashimoto&#8217;s Thyroiditis (Autoimmune Disorder): The most important scientific cause of hypothyroidism (low thyroid condition) is Hashimoto&#8217;s disease. In this condition, the body&#8217;s immune system mistakenly thinks of the thyroid gland as a foreign object and produces antibodies against it, slowly destroying the thyroid cells. This leads to a sharp decrease in hormone production and rapid weight gain, severe fatigue, and constipation.<\/p>\n<p>Graves&#8217; Disease: This is another autoimmune condition that causes hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid condition). In this, the antibodies produced by the body overstimulate the thyroid gland and force it to produce more T3 and T4 hormones than necessary. This causes symptoms such as excessive weight loss, increased heart rate, trembling hands, and protruding eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Iodine Deficiency \/ Excess in the diet: Iodine is an essential element for the production of thyroid hormones. When the amount of iodine in the diet is very low, the function of the thyroid gland slows down, which causes hormone deficiency and a condition called goiter, which causes a lump in the neck. On the other hand, excessive iodine consumption can also cause hyperthyroidism.<\/p>\n<p>Severe mental stress and lifestyle (Stress &amp; Cortisol): When going through chronic severe mental stress, the body produces a large amount of the stress hormone cortisol. High levels of cortisol interfere with the function of the TSH hormone in the brain and the process of converting T4 hormone into T3. This can completely disrupt the natural functioning of the thyroid gland.<\/p>\n<p>Genetics: Heredity plays a major role in the occurrence of thyroid diseases. If a mother or sister in the family has thyroid problems, the next generation, especially women, is 4 to 5 times more likely to develop this disease. Severe hormonal changes in women during menopause and postpartum period (Postpartum Thyroiditis) can also be a cause.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d08 \u0d12\u0d30\u0d4a\u0d31\u0d4d\u0d31 \u0d2d\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d37\u0d23\u0d02 \u0d2e\u0d24\u0d3f! \u0d24\u0d48\u0d31\u0d4b\u0d2f\u0d4d\u0d21\u0d4d \u0d1c\u0d40\u0d35\u0d3f\u0d24\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d7d \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3e\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d7b | \u0d35\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d28\u0d3e\u0d32\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d28\u0d3f\u0d2f\u0d28\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d3e\u0d7b \u0d38\u0d39\u0d3e\u0d2f\u0d3f\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d41\u0d02\u201dDr Jumana\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8r-YfxG5LZk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The thyroid is an important endocrine gland found in the &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":31370,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31369","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-job"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-2026-06-03T174404.615.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31369","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31369"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31369\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":31371,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31369\/revisions\/31371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/31370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31369"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31369"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31369"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
