What is Thyroid Disorder Treatment?
The thyroid is a gland in the endocrine system responsible for hormones closely tied to your metabolism and other factors. Thyroid disorders are more common in women than men and commonly appear between the ages of 30 and 50 years old, although anyone can struggle with a thyroid disorder.
Thyroid disorder treatment balances hormones produced by the thyroid. There are different reasons the thyroid may fail to produce the correct amount of hormones, but medication, vitamins, and minerals have proven effective in treating the thyroid gland when it is malfunctioning.
Types of Thyroid Disorders Treated
Many different types of thyroid disorders affect women and, in some cases, men. Rejuvenessence treats the following thyroid disorders:
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is when the thyroid fails to make enough thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism may have a primary cause (something directly attacking the thyroid) or a secondary cause (something causing the pituitary gland to fail, resulting in it being unable to tell the thyroid to make more hormones). Symptoms of hypothyroidism include fatigue, unexplained weight gain, depression, and increased sensitivity to cold.
Thyroiditis
Thyroiditis is a group of conditions that cause inflammation in the thyroid. Most cases of thyroiditis start with a fast heart rate, anxiety, increased sensitivity to heat, and unexplained weight loss. These are typically followed by symptoms of hypothyroidism and, in some cases, pain in the thyroid area.
Hashimoto’s Disease
Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune condition that causes the body not to recognize the thyroid and attack it. The attack on the thyroid may lead to hypothyroidism and other hormonal disturbances. Symptoms of Hashimoto’s disease include fatigue, weight gain, depression, thinning hair, difficulty concentrating, and a slow heartbeat.
Thyroid Disorder Treatment Benefits
The thyroid affects many bodily functions, including metabolism, energy levels, and overall health. Through treatment at Rejuvenessence, you can improve your hormonal balance and quality of life. Treating your thyroid disorder can lead to more energy, a decrease in depressive or anxious states, positive changes in weight, and more regulated body temperatures.
Your overall health is important for you to live the best version of your life. If you are struggling with a thyroid disorder, treatments can improve your social, work, and home life.
Thyroid Disorder Treatment Results and Recovery
Through treatment with vitamins, minerals, and medications, you should see improvement in energy levels, weight loss or gain, depressive states, and a decrease in pain or inflammation in the thyroid gland.
It may take several months for results to surface as you and your Rejuvenessence provider work to find proper dosages of medications, vitamins, and minerals for ideal results. Everyone’s hormones are different and react differently to varying dosages of medications, resulting in unique plans for each individual.
Do not stop taking your medication once you start feeling better. The medicine balances your hormones and supports your thyroid. It needs to be taken continuously, and stopping medication will cause a gradual return of your symptoms.
Ideal Candidates for Thyroid Disorder Treatment
If you struggle with the symptoms above, you may be a good candidate for thyroid disorder treatment. To determine if you require treatment, a blood test may be conducted to measure your hormone levels. After a hormone evaluation, our doctors will tailor a treatment plan to your unique needs.
Only an evaluation of your hormone levels can determine if you are a good candidate for thyroid disorder treatment. Hormone replacement therapy and other treatments have proven effective in restoring hormonal balance.
