UNDERSTANDING YOUR THYROID

What Is the Thyroid Gland?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that produces hormones controlling metabolism, energy, heart rate, temperature, and growth throughout your body.

When the thyroid works normally, you feel well. When it produces too much or too little hormone – or develops growths – it affects almost every system in the body. Thyroid disorders are among the most common hormonal conditions in Pakistan, yet many go undiagnosed for years.

Dr. Rizwan Niazi is an endocrinologist – a specialist in hormonal conditions – with over 18 years of dedicated experience managing all types of thyroid disease in Lahore and DHA.

  • Thyroid disorders are more common in women than men
  • Many patients go years without a correct diagnosis
  • A simple blood test (TSH) can screen for most thyroid problems
  • Pregnancy can trigger or worsen thyroid conditions
  • Most thyroid conditions are very treatable with the right care

SIGNS TO WATCH FOR

Common Thyroid Symptoms

Thyroid symptoms are often dismissed as stress or aging. If you recognise several of these, a thyroid blood test is the right first step.

🔴

Underactive Thyroid Symptoms

  • Persistent fatigue and sluggishness
  • Weight gain without change in diet
  • Feeling cold all the time
  • Hair thinning or loss
  • Dry skin and brittle nails
  • Low mood or depression
  • Slow heart rate
  • Constipation

Overactive Thyroid Symptoms

  • Unexpected weight loss
  • Heart racing or palpitations
  • Anxiety and nervousness
  • Trembling hands
  • Feeling too hot or sweaty
  • Insomnia
  • More frequent bowel movements
  • Eye changes or irritation
🤼

Goiter & Nodule Symptoms

  • Voice changes or hoarseness
  • Sensation of something in the throat

WHEN TO ACT

When Should You See a Thyroid Specialist?

A GP can screen for thyroid problems, but a specialist is needed when the diagnosis is unclear, treatment is not working, or the condition is complex.

Symptoms Persist Despite Treatment

If you have been prescribed thyroid treatment but still feel unwell, a specialist review can identify whether the dose needs adjusting or whether another condition is involved.

Abnormal Blood Test Results

If your TSH, T3, or T4 levels are outside normal range – even slightly – a specialist can interpret results accurately and recommend the correct next step.

Neck Swelling or Nodule Detected

Any swelling at the front of the neck or a nodule found on ultrasound needs specialist evaluation. Dr. Rizwan can assess whether it needs treatment or monitoring.

Planning a Pregnancy

Thyroid conditions directly affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes. A specialist review before or early in pregnancy can prevent complications for both mother and baby.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions About Thyroid Disorders

What does a thyroid specialist do differently to a GP?
A GP can order a basic thyroid blood test, but an endocrinologist like Dr. Rizwan can interpret complex results, identify autoimmune causes, manage difficult cases where symptoms persist despite treatment, and coordinate specialist investigations like thyroid scans or fine-needle aspirations.
What blood tests are needed for thyroid problems?
The main test is TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone). If TSH is abnormal, T3 and T4 levels are checked next. For autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease, thyroid antibody tests are added. Dr. Rizwan reviews all results together for an accurate picture.
Are thyroid disorders more common in women?
Yes. Women are significantly more likely to develop thyroid conditions – particularly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and Graves’ disease. Hormonal changes during pregnancy, after delivery, and around menopause can all affect thyroid function.
Can I have thyroid disease if my blood test is normal?
In some cases, yes. Early autoimmune thyroid disease can show normal hormone levels before the gland is significantly affected. Symptoms, antibody tests, and thyroid ultrasound all contribute to the full picture. Dr. Rizwan does not rely on a single test alone.
What is the difference between hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism?
Hypothyroidism means the thyroid is underactive – it produces too little hormone. This causes fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold. Hyperthyroidism means the thyroid is overactive – too much hormone, causing weight loss, anxiety, and heart palpitations. Both are treatable with specialist care.
Does thyroid disease affect fertility or pregnancy?
Yes, thyroid conditions – especially untreated hypothyroidism – can affect conception and increase the risk of miscarriage. If you are planning a pregnancy or are already pregnant, thyroid function should be tested and managed carefully under specialist supervision.
Is thyroid surgery always needed for goiter or nodules?
No. Many goiters and nodules can be managed with medication, regular monitoring, or radioactive iodine without surgery. Surgery is considered for large goiters causing pressure symptoms, or when a biopsy raises concerns that need further investigation.
