Thyroid Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment at Spectra ENT - Dr. Sonia Yadav

The thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped organ located at the base of the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy production, and overall hormonal balance. Thyroid disorders are among the most common endocrine problems, affecting millions worldwide. At Spectra ENT - Dr. Sonia’s ENT Centre in Gurugram, we specialize in diagnosing and treating thyroid-related conditions with precision and care.

Common Thyroid Disorders

Hypothyroidism -

This occurs when the thyroid gland produces insufficient thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, depression, and sensitivity to cold. It is often caused by autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Hyperthyroidism -

An overactive thyroid produces excessive hormones, leading to symptoms like weight loss, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and irritability. Graves' disease is a common cause of hyperthyroidism.

Goiter -

An abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland, often visible as a swelling in the neck. It may result from iodine deficiency, inflammation, or hormonal imbalance.

Thyroid Nodules -

These lumps in the thyroid gland can be benign or cancerous. They are often detected through imaging tests or physical examination.

Thyroid Cancer -

Though relatively rare, thyroid cancer requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. It often presents as a painless lump in the neck.
