Understanding the Thyroid
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall bodily functions through hormone production. When the thyroid is not functioning properly, it can lead to a range of health issues.
Common Thyroid Disorders
- Hypothyroidism – A condition where the thyroid produces insufficient hormones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, and depression.
- Hyperthyroidism – Excess hormone production causing rapid heartbeat, weight loss, irritability, and increased metabolism.
- Goiter – An enlarged thyroid gland, which may be caused by iodine deficiency or other underlying conditions.
- Thyroid Nodules – Lumps or abnormal growths in the thyroid, which can be benign or cancerous.
- Thyroid Cancer – A rare but serious condition that requires specialized medical intervention.
Thyroid Treatment Options
At We Heal Clinic, Dr. Nachiket Mahindrakar provides comprehensive thyroid care tailored to each patient’s needs. Treatment options include:
1. Medications
- Hormone Replacement Therapy: For hypothyroidism, medications like levothyroxine help restore normal hormone levels.
- Anti-Thyroid Drugs: Used to manage hyperthyroidism by reducing excessive hormone production.
2. Lifestyle and Dietary Modifications
- Ensuring adequate iodine intake
- Managing stress levels
- Following a balanced diet to support thyroid function
3. Radioactive Iodine Therapy
