When patients develop a thyroid condition, it changes the way they approach each day. The thyroid is a gland that is located in the lower neck and is responsible for metabolism growth and development. When the thyroid is compromised, both children and adults face an uphill battle to get well. An ear, nose and throat (ENT) professional is able to treat a number of different thyroid conditions.
The following thyroid conditions are the most known; hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, thyroiditis and thyroid nodules. The following four thyroid disorders require treatment from a professional before they become too dangerous.
Treatment options for thyroid conditions are based on type and whether an ENT specialist is required. Thyroid nodules usually fall under the expertise of ENT specialists. An ultrasound gives doctors a better idea of what they’re dealing with and whether surgery is an option. Thyroid biopsies and surgeries are safe once the necessary information is collected about the condition. Doctors will run thyroid function tests, ultrasonography, fine-needle aspiration biopsy and a regular thyroid scan. All of this is done to find out if the nodule is cancerous since that involves an entirely different treatment option.
Benign nodules are treated with thyroid hormone suppression therapy of surgery. There are anti-thyroid medications available like methimazole that work great for some patients. If the size of the thyroid nodule is small enough, doctors may wait to see how it develops over time. This lets them to run further tests to make sure it doesn’t get worse while allowing the body to correct the thyroid problem itself. If the condition gets better, then treatment isn’t necessary.
