Thyroid disorders include a range of health issues that impair the gland’s ability to regulate hormones. The thyroid gland is located below Adam’s apple, at the front of the neck. The gland produces important hormones in our body for vital functions such as metabolism, heart rate, body temperature, etc. Thyroid disorders involve either hypothyroidism, where hormone production is too low, or hyperthyroidism, where the gland produces an excessive amount of hormones.
Treatment of thyroid disease is essential to restore hormone balance, prevent complications, and improve overall health. Choose Thyroid Disorder Treatment at Ayushman Hospital and Health Services in Dwarka, Delhi. At Ayushman, you get the most personalized, precise, and advanced medical plan.
What is a Thyroid Disorder?
A thyroid disorder is a condition in which the thyroid gland is unable to produce the correct amount of hormones. Malfunctions in the thyroid gland disrupt endocrine function, affecting almost every organ system.
Types of Thyroid Disorders
- Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient hormones, leading to slowed metabolism. This causes fatigue, weight gain, depression, constipation, dry skin, sensitivity to cold, a slowed heart rate, and more
- Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism happens when the thyroid gland produces too much hormone, leading to an accelerated metabolism and causing the body to function faster than normal. It causes weight loss, rapid or irregular heartbeat, anxiety, insomnia, sweating, hand tremors, heat intolerance, and more.
- Goiter
A goiter is an enlarged thyroid gland that results in noticeable swelling at the front of the neck. It causes problems like neck tightness, hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, or even breathing issues.
- Thyroid Nodules
Thyroid nodules are lumps or abnormal growths within the thyroid gland. Larger nodules cause trouble swallowing or breathing. Surgical removal may be required depending on the size or growth rate of the thyroid nodule.
- Thyroiditis
Thyroiditis is a condition characterized by fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels due to inflammation of the thyroid gland. It may cause high hormone levels first, then low levels later. Types include Hashimoto’s, subacute, and postpartum thyroiditis.
- Thyroid Cancer
Thyroid cancer involves the unchecked growth of irregular cells or nodules in the thyroid gland. It causes voice changes, trouble swallowing, or swollen lymph nodes. Treatment of thyroid cancer includes surgery, radioactive iodine, and hormone therapy.
Treatment Options for Thyroid Disorders
Thyroid disorder treatment depends on the type of problem. For hypothyroidism, doctors usually prescribe daily thyroid hormone pills, such as levothyroxine. Hyperthyroidism can be treated with medicines, radioactive iodine, or sometimes surgery. Sometimes beta-blockers may be used for a fast heart rate, shaking, or anxiety. Goiters and thyroid nodules can be simply monitored; if they grow or cause a problem, they may need other treatments or surgery.
Most thyroid cancers will be treated with medicine and surgery, and may also receive radioactive iodine therapy or other treatment as needed. Follow-up visits with blood tests help manage treatment and hormone levels, and assess when adjustments might be needed.
