Thyroid Gland Disorders

Sterling Hospitals Ahmedabad is a leading healthcare provider with a team of experienced endocrinologists who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid gland diseases. The thyroid gland, located in the neck, produces hormones that regulate various bodily functions such as metabolism, growth, and development. Thyroid gland diseases can affect the production and balance of these hormones, leading to a wide range of symptoms. 

Common diseases related to thyroid gland disorders: 

• Hypothyroidism - This is a condition where the thyroid gland is not producing enough thyroid hormones, resulting in a slowdown of the body's metabolic processes. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, cold intolerance, and depression. 
• Hyperthyroidism - This is a condition where the thyroid gland is producing too much thyroid hormone, causing an increase in metabolic processes. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, sweating, tremors, and anxiety. 
• Graves' disease - This is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system produces antibodies that stimulate the thyroid gland to produce too much thyroid hormone. Symptoms of Graves' disease include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and trembling hands. 
• Thyroid nodules - These are growths or lumps that form on the thyroid gland. Most thyroid nodules are benign, but some can be cancerous. Symptoms of thyroid nodules include a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness. 
• Thyroid cancer - This is a rare type of cancer that develops in the cells of the thyroid gland. Symptoms of thyroid cancer include a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, and hoarseness.
