If your thyroid isn’t working properly, our team can identify the problem and help to optimize your thyroid function.
The thyroid gland in your neck might be small, but it’s a hormone-producing powerhouse. If it isn’t working properly, our team can identify the problem and help to optimize your thyroid function. At our office in Bluffton, South Carolina, we have an in-house lab for fast and convenient diagnosis of thyroid problems, and provide effective treatments to rebalance the hormone levels in your body.
The thyroid is a gland that produces the hormones responsible for regulating your metabolism and other vital bodily functions.
If your thyroid – which is in your neck – is making too much or not enough of these hormones, it can have a variety of adverse effects on your health.
The two conditions that most commonly affect the thyroid are hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
If your thyroid isn’t releasing enough thyroid hormones, it can cause hypothyroidism, slowing down your metabolism. Symptoms of hypothyroidism include lack of energy, temperature sensitivity, slow heart rate, weight gain, among other symptoms.
Hyperthyroidism is far less common than hypothyroidism. If you have hyperthyroidism, the thyroid is releasing too much thyroid hormone into your system. Too much thyroid hormone can cause mood swings, anxiety and nervousness, fatigue, unexpected weight loss, and more.
Most thyroid disorders respond well to treatment. Our office has an on-site lab facility for testing the levels of thyroid hormone in your blood. We offer our patients a fast and accurate diagnosis, with a treatment plan to monitor hormone levels.
