Thyroid Health

The thyroid influences energy, weight, heart rate, mood, temperature tolerance, and menstrual cycles, so an under- or overactive gland can look like several other problems at once. Testing settles the question quickly.

What to Expect

Your physician takes a history, examines your neck, and orders thyroid function testing. If levels are abnormal, treatment is started and rechecked on a schedule until it is stable, and nodules or persistent findings are worked up with imaging or referral as needed.
