Thyroid Services and Treatments
- Anti-thyroid medicine: These medications slowly ease symptoms of hyperthyroidism by preventing the thyroid gland from making too many hormones.
- Beta blockers: These are given to lessen symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as a tremor, rapid heart rate, and heart palpitations.
- Radioiodine therapy: The thyroid gland takes up radioiodine, causing the gland to shrink.
- Thyroidectomy: Surgery to remove part of or all of the thyroid gland. It is not often used to treat hyperthyroidism but may be an option for pregnant individuals or those who can’t take anti-thyroid medicine and don’t want to or can’t take radioiodine therapy.
Thyroid Diagnosis
- Medical history and physical exam checking:
- Slight tremor in your fingers and hands.
- Overactive reflexes.
- Rapid or irregular pulse.
- Eye changes.
- Warm, moist skin.
- Blood tests that measure the hormones T-4 and T-3 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).
- Radioiodine scan and uptake test: You take a small dose of radioactive iodine, called radioiodine, to see how much of it collects in your thyroid gland and where it collects in the gland.
- Thyroid ultrasound.
Thyroid dysfunction can influence bone health, contribute to hormonal imbalances, and in some cases, be linked with adrenal disorders, which is why a comprehensive endocrine evaluation is crucial.
