Did you know, PRAMITA Friends, that around 17 million people in Indonesia suffer from thyroid disorders?

This small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck actually plays a major role in regulating metabolism, body temperature, and even children's growth and development!

Thyroid disorders can include:

• Hypothyroidism (lack of thyroid hormone): symptoms include fatigue, dry skin, and weight gain.

• Hyperthyroidism (excess thyroid hormone): symptoms include rapid heartbeat, excessive sweating, and weight loss.

• Nodules/Tumors: can be benign or malignant (thyroid cancer).

Causes can include autoimmune diseases, genetics, iodine deficiency, or side effects from certain therapies.

If you're experiencing symptoms, don’t hesitate to consult a doctor!
Stay healthy, consume iodine as needed, and get regular check-ups—especially if you have a family history.
