Your larynx (vocal cords) are relaxed and loose, which means they vibrate slower, which results in a lower sound.\n\nWhen you are tenser, your larynx tightens, which makes the pitch of your voice go higher.\n\nPay attention when you argue with someone; their voice will go up in pitch as they get more and more stressed out.

d\nHypothyroidism \n\n\n \n Day One\n\n What Is It?\n\n How Do I Know I Have It?\n\n What Is the Treatment?\n\n 10 Questions to Ask Your Doctor\n \n \n Get the WebMD Daily Newsletter\n \n\nWhat Is It?\n\nHypothyroidism is an underactive thyroid gland, meaning the gland doesn't produce enough thyroid hormones. The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ located in your neck. It produces, stores, and releases hormones that influence a variety of body functions, including your body's metabolism, oxygen use, growth, and development.\n\nIf you have hypothyroidism, your body's processes slow down.\n\nFor example, a fetus or baby with severe hypothyroidism can develop a condition called cretinism. The lack of growth-inducing hormones results in mental retardation, very short stature, and muscular abnormalities. When children produce too little thyroid hormone, their muscles, bones, brain, and reproductive organs do not develop properly. Nowadays, testing can identify and prevent these disorders.\n\nSevere hypothyroidism causes a problem called myxedema, especially in the elderly, characterized by dry, thick skin and other symptoms of hypothyroidism, but also slowing of mental functioning, reduced functioning of the heart and lungs, and an increased risk of death from infections.\n\nMilder forms of the condition are most common.\n\nHypothyroidism has a number of potential causes, including overtreatment of hyperthyroidism and autoimmune disorders, in which the body's immune system turns on itself and destroys thyroid gland tissue. It can also occur as a side effect of drugs being taken for other, unrelated conditions. A common genetic cause of hypothyroidism is called Hashimoto's thyroiditis.\n\nThe condition generally affects women over age 60, although 1 of every 4,000 infants is also born with hypothyroidism.\n\nAlthough some cases of hypothyroidism are not curable, most cases can be controlled by medication.

Removal of the bulk of the thyroid gland usually produces hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), unless the person takes thyroid hormone replacement.

Yes, sometimes the problem is hormonal, others is related with infections or even small tumors (most of the times benign).\n\nIf its hormonal the doctor can prescribe shots, they can also operate and "clean" the vocal cords.\n\nBut the must important thing is to go and see a doctor.

A goitre (or goiter) (Latin struma) is a swelling in the neck (just below adam's apple or larynx) due to an enlarged thyroid gland. They are classified in different ways:\n\nA "diffuse goitre" is a goitre that has spread through all of the thyroid (and is contrasted with a "simple goitre", "single thyroid nodule" and "multinodular goitre". \n"Toxic goitre" refers to goitre deriving from inflammation, neoplasm, or malfunction of the thyroid, while "nontoxic goitre" refers to all other types (such as that caused by lithium or an autoimmune reaction.) \n\nCauses\nThe most common cause for goitre in the world is iodine deficiency (E01). Other causes are:\n\nHashimoto's thyroiditis (E06.3) \nGraves-Basedow disease (E05.0) \nJuvenile goitre due to congenital hypothyroidism (E03.0) \nNeoplasm of the thyroid \nThyroiditis (acute, chronic) (E06) \nSide-effects of pharmacological therapy (E03.2)

Goiter merely refers to the enlargement of the thyroid gland, which can be caused by diseases causing both hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Hence a goiter may in-fact present with totally opposite symptoms depending on the cause. \n\nIn case of hypothyroidism, the symptoms are:\n\nWeight gain\nSwelling over legs\nFatigue\nDrowsiness/Excessive sleepiness\nIntolerance to cold\n\nIn case of hyperthyroidism, the symptoms include:\n\nWeight Loss (even with good appetite)\nNervousness\nFever/Sweating\nIntolerance to heat\nPalpitations/ Increased Heart Rate\nProtrusion of the eyeballs\n\nWith goiter, there may be difficulty in swallowing and of-course the visible swelling in the neck.\n\nFor more info, check out the following links:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001178.htm\n\nhttp://www.healthopedia.com/goiter/symptoms.html\n\nhttp://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/g/goiter/symptoms.htm

The function of the thyroid gland is to take iodine from your food and convert it into thyroid hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).  T3 and T4 are then released into the blood stream and are transported throughout the body where they control metabolism (conversion of oxygen and calories to energy). Every cell in the body depends upon thyroid hormones for regulation of their metabolism. \n\nIf your thyroid is under active then it's not producing enough T3 and T4 to properly maintain your metabolism.  If you have an under active thyroid then I'm sure you already know that one of the symptoms is feeling weak and tired.  You can also get dry hair, gain weight, get dry skin, get irritable, lose your sex drive, feel cold a lot, have a poor memory and there are a lot of other symptoms as well.\n\nYou will probably have to stay on the supplements for life unless you want to deal with the symptoms...and who would want that?
