The thyroid gland is a small but very important organ of the endocrine system, located at the front of the human neck, near the trachea. It plays an essential role in regulating metabolism, energy production, thermoregulation, growth and many other body functions. The thyroid gland is shaped like a butterfly, and its weight in an adult is about 15-20 grams. This organ produces two main hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body.

Abdominal bloating, medically known as abdominal distention, is a condition in which the abdomen feels full, bloated, and often distended. It is a very common symptom experienced by both men and women and can be due to a variety of causes, from harmless to serious medical conditions. The main cause of bloating is the accumulation of gas in the intestines, which can occur due to digestive processes, the consumption of certain foods rich in fiber, legumes, lactose, fructose or sorbitol, as well as carbonated drinks. In addition, swallowing too much air while eating or drinking (aerophagia) can also cause bloating.
