Your thyroid gland is located at the front of your neck. Thyroid hormones regulate your body metabolism. Metabolism refers to all of the chemical processes that take place in your body. This includes the production of energy and hormones, tissue growth, elimination of waste products, and the distribution of nutrients in the blood. Thyroid conditions such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and parathyroidism can affect all of your body functions. Thyroid conditions can be treated with medication, but in some cases surgical removal of all or part of the gland is necessary for treatment. Hudson Valley Surgical Group is your expert for thyroid surgery.
