What Is Thyroid Disease?

According to Cleveland Clinic, thyroid disease affects an estimated 20 million Americans and up to 60% are unaware of it. Women are five to eight times more likely to be affected.

• Hypothyroidism — underactive thyroid; fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, depression, constipation, dry skin
• Hyperthyroidism — overactive thyroid; weight loss, rapid heart rate, anxiety, heat intolerance, tremor
• Hashimoto thyroiditis — autoimmune hypothyroidism; most common cause of underactive thyroid
• Graves disease — autoimmune hyperthyroidism; often needs specialist involvement
• Thyroid nodules — most benign, but need evaluation and possible ultrasound

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my thyroid is the problem?

Thyroid symptoms overlap with many conditions — only a blood test confirms it. TSH is the best initial screening test. We order a full panel when needed.

Do I need medication for the rest of my life?

Most patients with hypothyroidism take levothyroxine long-term, but the dose often needs adjustment over time. Hyperthyroidism may be temporary or require ongoing treatment. We monitor and adjust accordingly.
