Thyroid disorders are conditions that affect the thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck. The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating various metabolic processes in the body. At Dr. Sawant’s Diabetes Care Centre, we specialize in the comprehensive management of thyroid disorders, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroid nodules.
Hypothyroidism: A condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, and dry skin.
Hyperthyroidism: An overactive thyroid gland that produces too much thyroid hormone. Symptoms may include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, nervousness, and heat intolerance.
Thyroid Nodules: These are lumps or growths within the thyroid gland. While most nodules are benign (non-cancerous), some may require further evaluation to rule out thyroid cancer.
