Best Thyroid Specialists in Karimnagar

Thyroid specialist is also called an endocrinologist who treats disorders associated with the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland is an organ very essential to the metabolic, growth, and developmental functions in human beings through hormone production. In India, becoming a thyroid specialist normally leads to the completion of a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), and then a postgraduate degree in General Medicine in MD or DNB. From there, they move on to either a fellowship or further training in that subspecialty in endocrinology which is a field of hormonal and metabolic disorders.

Endocrinologists work with many disorders, among which are thyroid disorders like hypothyroidism in which the thyroid is underactive, hyperthyroidism in which the thyroid is overactive, thyroid nodules, and thyroid cancer. They often diagnose through blood tests to check the level of the thyroid hormones and may be complemented by other tests such as an ultrasound. The treatment approach may also include management of patients using medication and radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery in severe cases. It is the goal of the endocrinologist to be able to return the hormone balance, make the symptoms subside, and make the patient's overall health and quality of life the best it could possibly be.
