Hello here is the difference between parathyroid gland and thyroid gland
Thyroid: Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in your neck below your larynx and in front of your windpipe. Iodine from food you eat helps the thyroid make important hormones regulating metabolism. The pituitary gland checks to see if your thyroid is making the correct amounts of hormones needed to keep your metabolism functioning correctly. If your thyroid gland produces too many or too few of these hormones, you could have a thyroid disease, such as:
Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism
Graves’ disease
Hashimoto’s disease
Parathyroid: The parathyroid glands are 4 small glands located behind the thyroid gland. These glands produce a hormone (PTH) that helps control the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. If these glands make too much PTH, you have hyperparathyroidism, and your blood calcium level rises. Your body has to take calcium from other places like your bones to regulate levels causing health problems like osteoporosis. If your parathyroid glands do not make enough PTH, you have hypoparathyroidism, and your blood has too much calcium and phosphorus. Too much calcium in the blood could result in Vitamin D deficiency and kidney issues.
The symptoms of thyroid and parathyroid disease vary. If you are experiencing symptoms you think could be related to a thyroid or parathyroid disorder, visit a FastMed location near you to consult with a medical professional. Our clinics are open 365 days a year, making it easy for you to come in at a time that fits your busy schedule.
