The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland in the front of your neck. The thyroid gland secretes hormones the body needs to function. Thyroid disorders are not contagious diseases. Hypothyroidism means not enough of the hormones are made and released. Hyperthyroidism means the gland secretes too much of the hormones. Thyroid problems are not something you "catch" from someone else.
