The thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped organ located in the neck, plays a critical role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. When thyroid function is disrupted, it can lead to various health issues, such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, and even thyroid cancer. Expert care is essential to manage these conditions effectively.
At Dr. Charu Endo Care Clinic in Wakad, Pune, Dr. Charushila Dhole specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of thyroid disorders in both adults and children. As an experienced endocrinologist, she takes a comprehensive and personalized approach to thyroid care, ensuring patients receive the best possible treatment based on their individual needs.
Common Thyroid Disorders Treated:
1. Hypothyroidism: This condition occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones, leading to fatigue, weight gain, and sluggish metabolism. Dr. Charushila offers precise hormone replacement therapy to restore normal thyroid function.
2. Hyperthyroidism: When the thyroid gland produces too much hormone, patients may experience weight loss, anxiety, and rapid heartbeat. Dr. Charushila provides medical management and, in some cases, radioactive iodine treatment to control overactive thyroids.
3. Thyroid Nodules and Goiter: Enlargements in the thyroid gland or growths can be benign or cancerous. Dr. Charushila offers advanced diagnostic tests like ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration to assess the nature of thyroid nodules and recommends appropriate treatment, including surgery when necessary.
4. Thyroid Cancer: Early diagnosis is key to effective treatment. Dr. Charushila works closely with oncologists to manage thyroid cancer patients, offering surgery, radioactive iodine treatment, and long-term follow-up for recurrence monitoring.
