This month, we're shining a spotlight on thyroid health as we recognise Thyroid Awareness Month! The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland at the base of the neck that plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism, growth, and development.

Thyroid disorders can affect people of all ages and often go undiagnosed due to their subtle symptoms. Common thyroid conditions include hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), and thyroid nodules or cancer.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common problem that affects about 1 in 10 people in this country and around the world. IBS is considered a ‘functional’ bowel problem. That means that if you look at the bowel, it looks normal. But the nerves and muscles that control the bowel do not work normally, and that is what causes your symptoms.

Endometriosis is a progressive, chronic condition that can start at puberty and continue through to old age. It can be painful and debilitating but there are effective treatments that may relieve the symptoms of endometriosis. For more information on tips to self-manage the symptoms of endometriosis, visit Endozone, developed through funding contributions from the government.
