Conditions & Their Causes

Our clinic evaluates and manages a wide range of thyroid conditions that affect metabolism, energy, and overall well-being. Common conditions we assess and manage:

  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). When the gland produces too little hormone, metabolism slows. The commonest cause is Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition in which the immune system gradually damages thyroid tissue.

  • Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Excess hormone speeds bodily processes; Graves’ disease (another autoimmune disorder) and autonomously functioning nodules are frequent causes.

  • Thyroid nodules. Most nodules are benign, but assessment is essential to exclude malignancy and to decide whether they affect hormone production.

  • Thyroiditis. A group of inflammatory conditions that can cause swings between overactive and underactive phases, postpartum thyroiditis is one well-known example.

  • Goitre (enlarged thyroid). Enlargement may result from iodine deficiency, autoimmune disease, or multiple nodules and can cause a visible swelling or local pressure symptoms.

  • Thyroid Eye Disease (Graves' Ophthalmopathy): An autoimmune condition associated with Graves' disease, causing eye bulging, dryness, pressure, and vision changes requiring coordinated care.

Symptoms

Thyroid imbalances can affect nearly every system in your body. Recognising these signs early helps us target the right tests and create an effective treatment plan: 

  • Unexplained fatigue, sluggishness, or feeling mentally foggy despite adequate rest

  • Unexplained weight gain or weight loss with no change in diet or physical activity

  • Intolerance to cold (feeling cold when others are warm) or intolerance to heat (excessive sweating)

  • Changes in heart rate, including palpitations, racing heart, or unusually slow pulse

  • Hair thinning, dry skin, brittle nails, or noticeable hair loss

  • Mood changes, including anxiety, irritability, depression, or feeling unusually flat

  • Neck discomfort, swelling at the base of the neck, difficulty swallowing, or a noticeable lump

  • Menstrual irregularities, including heavier or lighter periods and fertility concerns

Treatment

Treatment focuses on restoring hormone balance and maintaining long-term stability through regular monitoring and adjustment:

  • Medical Thyroid Therapy (Hypothyroidism): Precise levothyroxine dosing to restore normal thyroid levels, with regular monitoring and dosage adjustments based on your individual response, age, and pregnancy status.

  • Medical Thyroid Therapy (Hyperthyroidism): Antithyroid medications (methimazole, carbimazole, or propylthiouracil) to reduce hormone production, with careful monitoring for side effects and treatment response.

  • Radioactive Iodine Therapy: A safe, effective outpatient treatment for hyperthyroidism (Graves' disease, toxic nodules) that gradually brings thyroid levels under control by destroying overactive thyroid tissue.

  • Thyroid Nodule Evaluation and Management: Ultrasound assessment, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy for suspicious nodules, and ongoing surveillance for benign nodules.

  • Thyroid Cancer Management: Coordinated care including surgical referral (thyroidectomy), radioactive iodine ablation when indicated, and long-term surveillance with tumour marker monitoring (thyroglobulin).

  • Thyroiditis Management: Targeted treatment based on the phase of inflammation, including beta-blockers for symptom control during the hyperthyroid phase and levothyroxine during the hypothyroid phase.

  • Thyroid Eye Disease Care: Coordinated management with ophthalmology, including corticosteroids, teprotumumab therapy, and surgical interventions when required for vision-threatening disease.

FAQ's

If you’re already on thyroid medicine but still feel unwell, persistent fatigue, difficulty with weight, mood changes, a specialist review can refine your dose or look for other causes. Seek earlier review if you notice a new lump, difficulty swallowing, or if a nodule has been identified and needs assessment.

For hypothyroidism, many people notice improved energy and mood within a few weeks of starting the correct levothyroxine dose; full biochemical stabilisation on blood tests generally takes six to eight weeks. For hyperthyroidism, symptom control may begin within weeks, though achieving a stable, normal hormone profile can take longer.

Yes. Thyroid health is important before and during pregnancy for both maternal well-being and foetal brain development. We work closely with obstetricians to adjust medication and monitor levels through pregnancy and the postnatal period.

An indeterminate or suspicious FNA result does not automatically mean cancer. We will explain the report in plain language, discuss additional tests or repeat biopsy if appropriate, and when surgery is advised, we will refer you to an experienced surgeon and coordinate your care.

Yes, managing thyroid disorders during pregnancy is essential for both maternal and fetal health. Untreated thyroid problems can affect pregnancy outcomes.
