Thyroid Disorder Treatment

Understanding Thyroid Disorders

The thyroid gland controls metabolism and energy in your body. Disorders occur when it produces either too much (Hyperthyroidism) or too little (Hypothyroidism) hormone.

Types of Thyroid Disorders

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

• Unexplained weight loss
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat
• Nervousness, anxiety, and tremors
• Excessive sweating and heat intolerance
• Swelling of thyroid gland (goitre)

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

• Fatigue and weakness
• Weight gain
• Cold sensitivity
• Dry skin & brittle hair
• Depression & memory issues

Treatment

1. Hyperthyroidism – medications like PTU and Carbimazole, dietary restrictions (avoid cabbage, cauliflower, wine).
2. Hypothyroidism – Thyroxine tablets as prescribed.
3. Regular monitoring of hormone levels.
4. Diet and lifestyle adjustments for better hormone balance.
