Thyroid

About the Condition:

The thyroid gland, a butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, growth, and overall health. Thyroid disorders can lead to symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, neck swelling, or lumps that affect both throat and voice function. Dr. Jashnani provides comprehensive thyroid care through physical examinations, imaging, and lab tests, offering medical management for conditions like hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), as well as surgical treatment for nodules, goiter, or suspected cancers—ensuring patients receive expert ENT-focused and endocrine-supported care.

Symptoms:

• Neck swelling or lumps (goiter refers to an enlarged thyroid)
• Hoarseness or voice changes
• Difficulty swallowing or breathing
• Unexplained weight gain or loss
• Fatigue and mood changes

Diagnosis:

• Ultrasound scans: To check thyroid size and nodules
• Hormone blood tests: To check levels of T3, T4, and TSH hormones
• Biopsy (FNAC – Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology): When nodules are found to rule out cancer

Treatment by Dr. Jashnani:

For hormone imbalances (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism), medicines are prescribed. For nodules, goiter, or suspected cancers, safe surgical removal is advised.
