Answer 2

Answer:

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.

Explanation:

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism are thyroid diseases that affect women the most.

Hyperthyroidism (ICD 10 - E05) is a problem in which the thyroid gland produces excess hormones, which impacts on various body functions. Here the gland is overactive, that is, it works in excess. Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces large amounts of these hormones in a short (acute) or long (chronic) period of time.

Hypothyroidism is, in short, a decrease in the production of thyroid hormones - triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). It is the most common disorder of this gland, which is in the neck area and resembles a butterfly. Its performance reverberates throughout the body, interfering in the heartbeat, the rhythm of the intestine, the mood and the menstrual cycle of women. The release of thyroid substances is orchestrated from the pituitary gland, a structure that is there in the brain.
