The Thyroid gland lies in front of your neck in a position just below your Adams apple. It Makes two thyroid hormones - Thyroxine (T4) and Triiodothyronine (T3). Thyroid hormones regulate our body's metabolism and influence virtually every organ system in the body.

They tell organs how fast or slow they should work. Thyroid hormones also regulate the body's consumption of oxygen and production of heat. Thyroid problems, such as an overactive or underactive thyroid, can severely affect metabolism.

The Thyroid Clinic also offers effective location of parathyroid tumors/Conditions and parathyroid surgeries.

Hypothyroidism

Decreased secretion of Thyroid Hormones/Underactive/cells slow down. Some people with hypothyroidism have no symptoms. The most common complaint is feeling tired. Other symptoms of hypothyroidism include weight gain, inability to tolerate cold easily, hair loss, constipation, slow heartbeat, swelling in your ankles, high cholesterol, irregular monthly periods, and difficulty in conceiving. In women who do get pregnant, there are chances of having a miscarriage and of having a baby with low intelligence.

Hyperthyroidism

Increased secretion of Thyroid hormones/Overactive/Cell overfast. Some people with hyperthyroidism have no symptoms. When they do occur, symptoms can include anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, weakness, trembling, excessive sweating, inability to tolerate hot weather, fast heartbeats, weight loss, increased appetite, frequent bowel movements. It can also cause a swelling in the neck called a "goiter." In some people eye changes may be noted like – redness, bulging eyes, inability to close eyelids completely. Hyperthyroidism can be treated with: Medicines/Radioactive iodine/Surgery.

Surgery for Hyperthyroidism – Doctors can do surgery to remove part or all of the thyroid gland. Doctors do not often recommend surgery, because other treatment choices are safer and less costly. Most people who are treated with radioactive iodine or who have surgery end up making too little thyroid hormone after treatment. They must take thyroid hormone pills after treatment, usually for the rest of their life.

Pregnancy

If you take anti-thyroid medicine, talk to your doctor before you start trying to get pregnant. You will probably need to take different medicines at different times in your pregnancy. Plus, your doses might need to be adjusted. If you were treated with radioactive iodine, wait at least 6 months before you start trying to get pregnant. Whatever treatment you use, you should have your thyroid hormone levels checked often during pregnancy. Thyroid hormone levels must be at the right level during pregnancy to avoid risks to both the mother and the baby.

Thyroid Nodule

Thyroid nodules are round or oval-shaped growths in the thyroid gland. These nodules are common and are not usually harmful to a person's health. But sometimes, thyroid nodules are caused by a serious condition, such as cancer. The thyroid gland makes a hormone called "thyroid hormone." Most thyroid nodules do not change the amount of thyroid hormone in the body. But some cause the thyroid gland to make too much thyroid hormone, which can cause symptoms.

They might find out that they have a thyroid nodule when their doctor feels it during a routine exam. Or a doctor might find nodules on an imaging test that was done for another condition. (Imaging tests like ultrasound or CT scan create pictures of the inside of the body.) Your doctor will want to make sure that the thyroid nodule is not a threat to your health. Tests usually include blood tests and an imaging test of the thyroid called an ultrasound. Sometimes, people need more tests. These include: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)/Thyroid scan Different treatments include: - Watching and waiting/ Medicines/ Radioactive iodine and Surgery to remove the thyroid nodule.
