  2. Thyroid Disease The Thyroid Gland, which is located at the base of the neck, is in charge of releasing hormones into the bloodstream. This gland's malfunction can result in a variety of symptoms and complications. The highly experienced specialists at our clinic help diagnose and treat patients with thyroid disorders. Thyroid disease occurs when the thyroid gland produces either too much or too little hormones. Thyroid diseases include hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroiditis, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. We provide comprehensive, seamless, coordinated, and patient-centered care by keeping patients at the center of our program. From the initial evaluation to treatment and meticulous follow-up monitoring, we use a team approach to coordinate all aspects of patient care. Look no further and schedule a thyroid examination if you are facing any fertility issues, weight issues, or are seeing any recent bodily changes such as excessive sweating, hand tremors, or sleep problems.

  3. Myth : Your symptoms will go away right away if you start taking thyroid medication. Fact : It takes time for thyroid levels to return to normal. Few people take medication for months before they start feeling better. Thyroid Myth & Fact 

  4. Myth : People with thyroid conditions should continue to take medication throughout their lives. Fact : It is dependent on the cause of your condition. Thyroid issues can occur during or after pregnancy for some women. The thyroid may adjust itself once the body's hormones have stabilized. Also, prescriptions may change over time. At times, individuals with an underactive thyroid may require additional thyroid hormones during pregnancy. Thyroid Myth & Fact 

  5. Myth : It's okay to skip medicine if your symptoms aren't bothering you.. Fact : The thyroid hormone is in charge of many vital organ functions. Failure to treat even a mild case of thyroid disease can result in serious health issues such as heart disease, weak bones (osteoporosis), and/or inability to have children (infertility). Thyroid Myth & Fact 

  6. Myth : I can stop taking my medications once I feel better and my lab results are normal. Fact : Regardless of how well you feel, it is critical that you continue to take your medications on a regular basis. Leave the decision to change or discontinue medication to an endocrinologist. Thyroid Myth & Fact 

  7. Myth : I must follow a special diet because of my thyroid condition. Fact : Thyroid disease is not a lifestyle disease. Don't feed your brain with false information from non-medical websites. People with thyroid disorders, like everyone else, need to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Thyroid disorders are not caused by diet, so they won’t even be cured by diet. Get in touch with our endocrinologist if you suspect you have a thyroid disorder. Thyroid Myth & Fact 

  8. Myth : It is a female disorder. Fact : Though, as with most autoimmune diseases, it affects far more women than men, men are not uncommonly diagnosed with hypothyroidism. TFT levels should be checked every five years if you are healthy, but if you have been diagnosed with hyper/hypothyroidism, TFT levels should be checked more frequently. Thyroid Myth & Fact
