Common Thyroid and Parathyroid Conditions
Parathyroid Adenoma

Symptoms may include fatigue, muscle weakness, kidney stones, and bone pain.
Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the adenoma to restore normal PTH levels.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
An autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and damage to the thyroid gland.
Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, joint pain, and depression.
Treatment focuses on hormone replacement therapy and managing the autoimmune response.
Thyroid Nodules
Abnormal growths or lumps that form within the thyroid gland.
Most nodules are benign but may require monitoring or biopsy for further evaluation.
Treatment depends on the size and characteristics of the nodules and may include observation, medication, or surgery.
Hyperthyroidism
Characterized by an overactive thyroid gland that produces an excess of thyroid hormones.
Symptoms can include weight loss, rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and tremors.
Treatment options may include medications, radioactive iodine therapy, or surgery.
Hypothyroidism
- A condition where the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormones.
- Symptoms may include fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, and dry skin.
