Thyroid Care
Thyroid problems are common and very treatable when managed correctly. At SEWA Centre, Dr. Abhyudaya Verma provides expert diagnosis and treatment for the full range of thyroid disorders — including the special considerations of thyroid disease in pregnancy, managed together with our gynecologist.
Thyroid conditions we treat
- Hypothyroidism — underactive thyroid, with correct dosing and monitoring.
- Hyperthyroidism — overactive thyroid, including medical management.
- Thyroid nodules — evaluation, ultrasound and follow-up.
- Thyroid in pregnancy — careful trimester-by-trimester management.
- Thyroid cancer — supportive and post-surgical hormonal care.
How thyroid disorders are diagnosed
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests (TSH, T3, T4 and antibodies where relevant) and a thyroid ultrasound when nodules or swelling are present. This guides whether you need medication, monitoring or further evaluation.
Treatment and monitoring
Most thyroid conditions are managed with medication and regular blood tests to keep hormone levels in the right range. Dosing is adjusted carefully — especially in pregnancy, where thyroid needs change — and reviewed at regular intervals.
Frequently asked questions
What are the early signs of a thyroid problem?
Common signs include unexplained weight change, fatigue, feeling cold or hot, hair thinning, irregular periods, mood changes and a swelling in the neck. A simple blood test can confirm whether your thyroid is involved.
Is thyroid disease curable?
Many thyroid conditions are well-controlled rather than cured — for example, hypothyroidism is usually managed long-term with daily medication. Some conditions resolve with treatment. Your endocrinologist will explain what to expect for your specific diagnosis.
Can I manage thyroid problems during pregnancy?
Yes — but thyroid levels must be monitored closely in pregnancy because requirements change and untreated thyroid disease can affect the baby. At SEWA Centre this is co-managed by our endocrinologist and gynecologist.
How often do I need thyroid tests?
When starting or adjusting treatment, tests are usually repeated every 6–8 weeks until stable, then every 6–12 months. Pregnancy requires more frequent checks.
