Patients with thyroid conditions often have problems with their energy levels. They may also have problems with muscle strength, emotions, weight control, and tolerating heat or cold. Endocrinologists treat patients with too much or too little thyroid hormone (conditions respectively caused by either an overactive or underactive thyroid). They help patients reach a hormone balance by replacing or blocking thyroid hormone. Endocrinologists also receive special training to manage patients with thyroid nodules or thyroid cancer, and enlarged thyroid glands. Thyroid disorders can also have a side effect on your weight. If you are also suffering from weight problems the most effective and economic solution is to participate in our weight managment program, where we can treat both problems at the same time. If you don't have weight problems but are suffering a thyroid disorders you should still get a referral from your GP to come see our endocrinologist Dr Carey. For further information click here.
