Who Is at Risk of Thyroid Disease?

Thyroid disease can affect people of all ages and genders. In this sense, anyone could be at risk. But, several factors may increase your risk. These include:

  • Having a family history of thyroid disease.
  • Having a chronic condition like rheumatoid arthritis or Type 1 diabetes.
  • Taking medication that contains iodine.
  • Being age 60 or older.

You’re also more likely to experience thyroid disease if you’ve received radiation treatment for cancer. If you think you may have an illness, we can offer screening and diagnostic tests. If a disease is found, we can talk about our thyroid treatments.

How Can We Identify Thyroid Issues?

Diagnosing most issues usually involves a physical exam and a review of your health history. When you visit us, we will ask about your symptoms, including when they started and whether any activities, like drinking coffee or exercising, make them worse. In most cases, a blood test may be done to get more answers. In other cases, we may use an ultrasound to look at the thyroid itself. Testing is usually non-surgical and doesn’t involve a lot of preparation. So, if you think you may have a thyroid problem, we can help diagnose it quickly.

What Are the Thyroid Treatments Available?

Our thyroid treatments are a mix of lifestyle recommendations and medications. Healthy living and exercise can go a long way in improving your well-being. Along with this, we can offer:

  • Antithyroid drugs
  • Radioactive iodine
  • Beta-blockers
  • Thyroid replacement medication

If medications don’t relieve your symptoms, surgery may be needed. In most cases, thyroid surgery involves the removal of your thyroid gland.
