Best Doctors for Graves Disease Treatment in Visakhapatnam

Graves's disease is a hormonal problem and an autoimmune disease, in which the thyroid hormone is produced in increased amounts by the thyroid gland. The presenting complaints of Graves' disease include shortness of breath, tremors, anxiety, weight loss, diarrhea, increased bowel movement, rapid heartbeat (palpitations), heat intolerance, excessive sweating, insomnia, thin, warm, and moist skin, and light menstrual bleeding or absence of periods. Grave's disease is triggered by the overproduction of an antibody called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI). The risk factors of Graves' disease include a similar family history, having estrogen as the main sex hormone, smoking, selenium and vitamin D deficiencies, pernicious anemia, and type 1 diabetes. The complications of Graves' disease, if left untreated, include thyroid storm, osteoporosis, and heart problems like heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Grave's disease is managed by taking medications such as anti-thyroid medications and beta blockers, radioiodine therapy, and a surgery called thyroidectomy.
