Abstract

Thyroid diseases are common worldwide. In India too, there is a significant burden of thyroid diseases. According to a projection from various studies on thyroid disease, it has been estimated that about 42 million people in India suffer from thyroid diseases. This review will focus on the prevalence of two common thyroid diseases in India: hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.Thyroid is a most common disease among women and if not treated in time it can lead to severe health problems.The prevalence of hyperthyroidism has been studied in several studies at Cochin, Kerala and Mumbai.This review will also briefly cover the effects of thyroid problem on women’s health, especially in pregnancy and children.
