Unknown to the uninitiated, thyroid hormones support vital bodily processes like metabolism, heart, digestion, muscle health, brain growth, bone health, and others. Women are thought to be more likely than males to experience thyroid issues, and one of the main causes of thyroid disorders is thought to be a stressful lifestyle.
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the front of the neck that secretes a hormone that affects every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. As a result, the thyroid is crucial to the proper functioning of the body. On the other hand, polycystic ovarian syndrome, also known as PCOD, is one of the most common disorders that affects women’s endocrine systems and results in the development of multiple small cysts in the ovaries.
When there is a change in the regular menstrual cycle and the body’s level of androgen and oestrogen hormones starts to rise, cysts form and the ovary enlarges. Occult PCOD is an illness that affects people who do not exhibit the conventional symptoms, but an ultrasound to detect the ovaries will still show the presence of PCOD. Some PCOD patients will have excessive face and body hair as well as weight due to these hormones.
