Diagnosis Of Thyroid Disorder
Diagnosis of Thyroid Disorders in Indore – Accurate Testing & Expert Care
Thyroid disorders are increasingly common and often go undiagnosed due to vague or overlapping symptoms. At SEWA Superspeciality Endocrinology & Women Care Centre, Indore, we offer comprehensive evaluation and accurate diagnosis of all thyroid conditions, including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and autoimmune thyroid diseases.
Why is Thyroid Diagnosis Important?
The thyroid gland plays a crucial role in regulating your metabolism, energy, weight, heart rate, mood, and reproductive health. Undiagnosed thyroid issues can lead to:
Weight gain or weight loss
Fatigue and weakness
Mood swings or anxiety
Menstrual irregularities and infertility
Heart problems
Goiter or swelling in the neck
Early diagnosis helps prevent complications and ensures effective treatment.
Common Tests to Diagnose Thyroid Disorders
At SEWA Centre, we use advanced diagnostic tools and lab tests, including:
1. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
Primary screening test for thyroid function
High TSH = Hypothyroidism
Low TSH = Hyperthyroidism
2. Free T3 and Free T4
Measures actual levels of thyroid hormones
Helps assess the severity of thyroid dysfunction
3. Anti-TPO and Anti-TG Antibodies
Detects autoimmune thyroid diseases like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease
4. Thyroid Ultrasound
Evaluates thyroid size, structure, and nodules
Helps detect goiter, cysts, or tumors
5. Radioactive Iodine Uptake (RAIU) Test
Determines the cause of hyperthyroidism
Helps differentiate between Graves’ disease, thyroiditis, or toxic nodules
6. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC)
Performed on thyroid nodules to check for cancerous changes
Safe, minimally invasive, and highly accurate
Symptoms of Hyperthyroidism
If you have hyperthyroidism, you may experience:
Unexplained weight loss
Rapid or irregular heartbeat (palpitations)
Nervousness, anxiety, or irritability
Tremors in hands or fingers
Sweating and heat intolerance
Increased appetite
Frequent bowel movements or diarrhea
Fatigue and sleep disturbances
Thinning hair or hair loss
Menstrual changes or fertility issues
How is Hyperthyroidism Diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves:
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) test – usually low
Free T3 and T4 tests – elevated
Thyroid antibody tests (for Graves’ disease)
Thyroid scan or ultrasound (if nodules are suspected)
At SEWA Centre, we use advanced hormone testing and imaging for accurate diagnosis.
Treatment for Hyperthyroidism
Treatment depends on the cause and severity:
Anti-thyroid medications (like Methimazole or Carbimazole)
Radioactive iodine therapy (to shrink or destroy overactive thyroid cells)
Beta-blockers (to control symptoms like rapid heart rate)
Surgery (thyroidectomy) in some cases
Continuous monitoring and thyroid function tests
