Thyroid Diseases

The thyroid gland is an organ located in the front of the neck that regulates the entire balance of the body with the hormones it produces. If the gland is overactive, excess hormones are produced and released into the bloodstream and hyperthyroidism develops. In hyperthyroidism, complaints such as hot flashes, excessive sweating, palpitations, trembling hands and weight loss are observed. Inadequate functioning of the gland is called hypothyroidism and manifests itself with complaints such as weight gain, constipation, chills, weakness, forgetfulness, muscle aches, hair loss. Both conditions require detailed evaluation and treatment in terms of causes and consequences. In our practice, the follow-up and treatment processes of all thyroid diseases are carried out by an internal medicine specialist.
