Thyroid Disease

In the SANJIVANI SPECIALTY CLINIC, the Specialist Profession is Thyroid Disorders with a focus on accurate diagnosis and complete management of the disease. This gland is the thyroid, which regulates your metabolism, energy, heart rate, and body temperature. Unbalanced function problems can significantly impact the quality of life and overall health.

What is the Thyroid Imbalance?

There are generally two types of disorders of the thyroid that must be meticulously managed on a long-term basis:

• Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid): A condition that develops when the gland fails to produce the thyroid hormone in adequate amounts. Symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, dry skin and depression are common.
• Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid): This condition occurs when the thyroid gland produces excessive amounts of thyroid hormone. These may manifest as unexplained weight loss, fast or irregular heartbeats (palpitations), anxiety, nervousness and heat intolerance.

Our Diagnostic and Intervention Strategy

1.Accurate Diagnosis
• Hormone Testing: Accurate TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone), T3, and T4 levels to identify the type and the level of the imbalance.
• Autoantibody Screening: Diagnosing the presence of thyroid antibodies, including those found in Hashimoto thyroiditis (the most common cause of hypothyroidism) or Graves disease (the most common cause of hyperthyroidism).
• Clinical Evaluation: In-depth determination of symptoms, such as weight, energy, and heart status changes.

Personalized Management

• Treatment of Hypothyroidism: Synthetic thyroid hormone (levothyroxine) should be prescribed at their individual dosages to replace the normal metabolic rate and relieve symptoms.
• Hyperthyroidism Treatment: Hyperthyroidism can be treated with anti-thyroid medication to slow hormone production, although close monitoring should be done to avoid adverse effects.
• Pregnancy and Thyroid: Pregnant women require special attention and specific dose regulation to ensure both the mother's and the baby's health.
• Integrated Care: As thyroid hormones have a direct impact on blood sugar and cholesterol levels, any existing diabetes or cardiovascular health plan is integrated with treatment.
