Condition
Thyroid Disorders
Under- and over-active thyroid, nodules and follow-up.
Thyroid problems are common, especially in women, and they often explain symptoms like fatigue, weight change, hair fall and mood changes. Diagnosis needs one or two targeted blood tests, not a long list.
What patients often report
- Constant tiredness or feeling cold
- Unexplained weight gain or loss
- Hair fall, dry skin or mood changes
- Palpitations, tremor or poor sleep
How it is assessed
- TSH with free T3 and T4 where needed
- Thyroid antibodies in selected cases
- Neck examination and ultrasound if a nodule is felt
- Pregnancy-related thyroid checks
How care is usually structured
- Correct dosing and timing of medication
- Periodic testing to keep levels stable
- Diet and supplement advice that avoids over-treatment
- Referral for surgical opinion only when necessary
When to seek urgent care
- Rapidly enlarging neck swelling
- Difficulty in swallowing or breathing
- Hoarseness of voice with a neck lump
If any of these apply, go to the nearest hospital or call emergency services — do not wait for a routine appointment.
