Understanding Thyroid Problems: The Role of an Endo Doctor

Thyroid problems are complex hormone-related conditions that can affect various aspects of your metabolism, including appetite, blood sugar, energy level, and libido. At Jackson Medical Group, our endocrinologist works closely with a multidisciplinary medical team to develop a comprehensive plan for the diagnosis and management of these diseases.

As an expert in the field of endocrinology, our doctor can prescribe medications to improve thyroid function, remove benign or cancerous glandular tumors, or help control diabetes mellitus to reduce the risk of complications. We specialize in diagnosing and treating hormonal imbalances, including conditions such as hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and thyroiditis.

To diagnose hypothyroidism, our doctor may not rely solely on symptoms, as many of its symptoms are similar to those of other diseases. Instead, we use a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests to determine the presence of this condition.

In some cases, treatment for thyroid problems may involve surgical intervention, such as biopsies or thyroidectomies (removal of part or all of the thyroid gland). Our endocrinologist works closely with other specialists, including ENT surgeons, who can treat thyroid problems with oral medication or radiation.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a common form of thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition that results in gradual damage to the thyroid gland. Our experienced endocrinologist provides expert care to patients with diabetes, thyroid disorders, pituitary diseases, tumors, and other problems related to the endocrine system.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain or loss, changes in appetite or libido, or difficulty concentrating, it may be time to consult an endo doctor. Our team at Jackson Medical Group is dedicated to providing personalized care for patients with thyroid problems and other endocrine-related conditions.
