The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, but its impact is enormous. It regulates your metabolism, energy, heart rate, mood, and body temperature. When it malfunctions, the effects ripple through the entire body.
Common Thyroid Disorders
- Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid): Leads to fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin, and depression.
- Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid): Symptoms include anxiety, heat intolerance, rapid heartbeat, weight loss, and sweating.
- Nodules and goiter: Lumps or enlargement of the thyroid. Many are harmless, but some require further testing.
- Thyroid cancer: Often treatable if detected early.
How We Diagnose & Treat
Our endocrinologists use a combination of lab tests, imaging (like ultrasound), and biopsies where needed. Treatment may involve hormone replacement therapy, anti-thyroid medications, surgery, or radioiodine therapy. But beyond medication, we also help patients adopt lifestyle strategies — diet, stress management, and regular follow-up — to maintain stable thyroid health.
Why Early Detection is Critical
Because thyroid symptoms often overlap with other conditions (such as stress or aging), many people delay seeking care. But catching thyroid dysfunction early can prevent serious complications like heart disease, infertility, or severe metabolic issues.
