Thyroid treatment in Vile Parle
The most common reason for a visit is an abnormal TSH. Dr. Ghody repeats the test if needed, checks thyroid antibodies, and decides whether you need a tablet or only monitoring. For people already on levothyroxine, he fine-tunes the dose and checks how you take it, because breakfast, tea, calcium and iron tablets can block absorption.
Hypothyroidism in Vile Parle
An underactive thyroid causes tiredness, weight gain, hair fall, constipation and irregular periods. It is easy to test for and usually well controlled with one tablet a day. Read more about hypothyroidism treatment.
Thyroid disease: nodules, goitre and an overactive thyroid
A lump in the neck or a nodule seen on a scan is checked with ultrasound, and a fine needle aspiration (FNA) is arranged when the nodule looks suspicious. An overactive thyroid (Graves' disease or a toxic nodule) is treated with tablets, radioiodine or surgery depending on the cause. See thyroid disorders and thyroid FNA.
