At Viva Hospital, under the care of Dr. Tushyanth V, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for thyroid disorders, which are among the most common hormonal conditions. The thyroid gland, a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck, plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy, and overall health. When the thyroid does not function properly, it can lead to conditions such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
Hypothyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland does not produce enough hormones. This slows down the body’s metabolism and can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, constipation, dry skin, hair loss, puffiness in the face, and depression. In severe or untreated cases, it can lead to complications such as infertility, heart disease, and myxedema.
Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, happens when the thyroid gland produces excess hormones, speeding up body processes. Symptoms may include rapid heartbeat, weight loss despite increased appetite, heat intolerance, nervousness, irritability, tremors, frequent bowel movements, and, in some cases, swelling of the neck (goiter) or bulging eyes (Graves’ disease).
At Viva Hospital, we begin with a detailed consultation and advanced thyroid function tests (T3, T4, TSH levels) to diagnose thyroid imbalance accurately. Additional imaging such as ultrasound or nuclear scans may be suggested if needed. Based on the diagnosis, Dr. Tushyanth designs a personalized treatment plan suited to each patient’s condition.
Treatment for hypothyroidism often involves thyroid hormone replacement therapy, while hyperthyroidism may be managed with antithyroid medications, beta-blockers, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery in certain cases. Alongside medication, lifestyle guidance, nutrition counseling, and stress management support are provided to help patients achieve a better quality of life.
Because thyroid disorders are often chronic, regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to ensure treatment effectiveness and to adjust medications when required. At Viva Hospital, patients receive not only medical management but also continuous education and support to live healthier lives.
With a holistic and compassionate approach, Dr. Tushyanth ensures that thyroid conditions are effectively controlled, helping patients restore energy, balance, and well-being.
