Comprehensive Thyroid Care By Certified Doctors
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped endocrine gland necessary for the maintenance of general well-being. These hormones are essential to many body functions, including metabolic rate, heart function, and muscle function. The thyroid hormone also plays a role in the development of our brain and our bones.
A thyroid disorder can develop from several causes, which can include producing too much or too little of the thyroid hormones. Dr. G Medical Solutions has board-certified thyroid specialists who accurately diagnose and provide comprehensive treatment for all thyroid diseases.
Types of Thyroid Disorders We Treat at Thyroid Clinic
It is an underactive thyroid gland condition that does not produce enough hormone. It slows down the metabolic functions, leading to:
- Fatigue
- Weight Gain
- Experiencing forgetfulness
- Frequent and Heavy Menstrual Periods
- Dry Hair
- Intolerance to Cold Temperatures
Hyperthyroidism
This condition occurs when the thyroid gland produces an excessive number of thyroid hormones. The overactive gland creates many physical and mental symptoms, such as:
- Weight Loss
- Trouble Sleeping
- Enlarged Thyroid Gland or a Goiter
- Muscle Weakness and Tremors
- Irregular Menstrual Periods
- Sensitive to Heat
- Vision Problems or Eye Irritation
How Do We Diagnose Thyroid Diseases?
The Thyroid Clinic conducts a physical examination, reviews your medical history, and asks about your symptoms and lifestyle to determine your condition and prescribe appropriate treatment.
The doctors for thyroid disease may suggest the following tests.
- Blood Tests: The tests can tell you if you have hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. We perform several lab diagnostic tests, including Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), T3 & T4, and Thyroid Antibodies.
- Thyroid Ultrasound: We might perform imaging studies such as ultrasound of the neck, nuclear medicine scanning, and CT scans. It helps examine the nodules and show if they are overactive.
How Our Thyroid Specialist Doctor Treats Both Thyroid Conditions
The treatment of thyroid disorders varies depending on the specific condition. Dr. G Medical Solutions’ Thyroid doctors offer advanced treatment to return thyroid hormone levels to a healthy range.
If you have Hyperthyroidism, treatment options include:
- Antithyroid Drugs: These medications stop the thyroid gland from making hormones.
- Beta Blockers: The medication manages symptoms like a rapid heart rate
- Radioiodine Therapy: This treatment damages cells while preventing high levels of hormone production
- Surgery: For a permanent treatment, we recommend surgically removing the thyroid gland.
Treatment for Hypothyroidism is hormone replacement therapy through various medicines that contain the thyroid hormone. The doctors increase the dose until your blood levels of thyroid hormone return to normal.
You will likely have to take this medicine for the rest of your life.
