Thyroid and parathyroid care
This page covers thyroid conditions, thyroid nodules and parathyroid concerns involving calcium. Consultations include underactive and overactive thyroid, thyroid problems in pregnancy and thyroid cancer follow-up.
Conditions we see
A thyroid appointment may be about a thyroid report, a known thyroid condition, a nodule or follow-up after previous care. The list below separates these concerns so you can see which topics are covered before booking. Parathyroid consultations also include high and low calcium.
If your concern is a thyroid nodule, bring any previous ultrasound or needle-test reports among your old records. The linked nodule article and Gujarati thyroid-report guide are available below. Further thyroid patient education is provided on the sister site, Endocrinology India.
- Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
- Overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism, Graves' disease)
- Thyroid nodules
- Goitre
- Thyroiditis
- Thyroid problems in pregnancy
- Thyroid cancer follow-up
- High calcium (hyperparathyroidism)
- Low calcium (hypoparathyroidism)
Many thyroid nodules are not cancer. An endocrinologist's assessment, with ultrasound and, where needed, a needle test (FNAC), helps decide whether surgery is needed.
What to bring to your first visit
Before your thyroid or parathyroid consultation, gather your old reports and all medicines you currently take. Photographs of the medicine strips can be brought instead. Include a written list of questions about your reports, nodules, calcium or follow-up.
