Thyroid & Parathyroid Disease

Thyroid and parathyroid diseases occur when these glands produce too much or too little of their respective hormones, leading to a variety of health issues. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, energy, and growth by producing hormones like thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The parathyroid glands, located near the thyroid, regulate calcium levels in the blood by producing parathyroid hormone (PTH). At Revere Health, we offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for both thyroid and parathyroid disorders to help patients manage their symptoms and restore hormonal balance.

Common Thyroid Diseases
Hyperthyroidism: Occurs when the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone, leading to symptoms like weight loss, rapid heart rate, and nervousness.
Hypothyroidism: A condition where the thyroid produces too little hormone, causing fatigue, weight gain, and slowed metabolism.
Thyroid Nodules: Lumps that form within the thyroid, which can be benign or, in rare cases, cancerous.
Thyroid Cancer: A malignant growth in the thyroid gland that requires specialized treatment.

Common Parathyroid Diseases
Hyperparathyroidism: Occurs when the parathyroid glands produce too much PTH, leading to high calcium levels and symptoms such as fatigue, bone pain, and kidney stones.
Hypoparathyroidism: A condition where too little PTH is produced, resulting in low calcium levels, muscle cramps, and tingling sensations.

Symptoms of Thyroid & Parathyroid Disorders
Thyroid Symptoms: Fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, dry skin, and sensitivity to cold or heat.
Parathyroid Symptoms: Bone pain, muscle weakness, frequent urination, kidney stones, and fatigue.

Treatment Options
Medications: Hormone replacement therapy for hypothyroidism, medications to reduce hormone production in hyperthyroidism, and medications to manage calcium levels for parathyroid disorders.
Surgery: In cases of thyroid cancer, large nodules, or hyperparathyroidism, surgical removal of the thyroid or parathyroid glands may be recommended.
Radioactive Iodine Therapy: Used to shrink an overactive thyroid gland in hyperthyroidism or treat certain types of thyroid cancer.
