The thyroid gland regulates metabolism, heart rate, temperature, and energy production. An imbalance frequently produces subtle, overlapping symptoms:
Thyroid Disorders Evaluated & Treated
Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)
Unexplained weight gain, chronic fatigue, cold intolerance, dry skin, constipation, puffy face, and hair thinning.
Ultra-sensitive TSH and Free T4 assessment followed by individualized Levothyroxine titration, regular monitoring, and lifestyle guidance.
Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)
Rapid heartbeat (palpitations), unexpected weight loss, tremors, heat intolerance, anxiety, and irregular bowel habits.
Thorough Free T3, Free T4, and TSH receptor antibody assessment, anti-thyroid pharmacotherapy, beta-blocker symptomatic control, and periodic liver panel monitoring.
Thyroid Disorders in Pregnancy
Maternal fatigue, mild swelling, or discovered during routine first-trimester antenatal screening.
Strict trimester-specific TSH optimization (target TSH < 2.5 mIU/L in early gestation) to protect fetal neurological development and prevent maternal complications.
Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction & Goitre
Mildly elevated TSH with normal Free T4, neck fullness, or asymptomatic metabolic slowdown.
Anti-TPO antibody testing to screen for Hashimoto's thyroiditis, cardiac lipid correlation, and cautious, individualized monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the thyroid specialist at REMEDI Clinic Kurnool?▼
Dr. T. Karthik, MBBS, MD (General Medicine), FAIG, is the Consultant Physician leading thyroid and endocrine metabolic care at REMEDI Clinic. He holds APMC Registration No: APMC/F/84920 and has over 7 years of specialized medical practice.
How should I take my thyroid medication for best results?▼
Thyroid medication (Levothyroxine) should be taken first thing in the morning with a full glass of water on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast, tea, or coffee. Avoid taking calcium or iron supplements within 4 hours of your thyroid pill.
How often should TSH levels be retested?▼
When starting medication or after a dosage adjustment, TSH is typically rechecked every 6 to 8 weeks until stable. Once stabilized, annual or bi-annual monitoring is recommended.
Can thyroid disorders cause weight gain and hair loss?▼
Yes. An underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) slows down your basal metabolic rate, causing water retention, gradual weight gain, and sluggish hair follicle regeneration. Proper medical hormone balancing helps reverse these symptoms.
