Graves’ disease is caused by a generalized overactivity of the entire thyroid gland

Graves’ disease is a type of autoimmune problem that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone, which is called hyperthyroidism. Graves’ disease is often the underlying cause of hyperthyroidism.

Graves' disease affects both men and women; however, women are affected about 8- 10 times more often than men.

Symptoms: goiter, problems conceiving a child, lighter menstrual flow and less frequent periods, weight loss, frequent bowel movements, thinning of hair, brittle hair, hand tremors.

Treatments: radioactive iodine, antithyroid medications such as  methimazole and   propylthiouracil, and in some patients, surgery is done.
