A member asked:
Is hyper- or hypo-thyroid more common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypothyroidism: Check out http://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medicalpubs/diseasemanagement/endocrinology/hypothyroidism-and-hyperthyroidism/Default.htm. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is definitely much more common than hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). If you have signs & symptoms of either, your family doc can order appropriate lab tests etc.
