Thyroid Disorders And Treatments

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the lower front of the neck in front of the windpipe below Adam's apple. The gland secretes several hormones that collectively influence the body's metabolism, temperature, growth, and development. Currently, it is estimated that around 42 million people in India suffers from thyroid disorders, which predominantly include women.

TYPES OF THYROID DISORDERS

1. HYPERTHYROIDISM

Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is overactive and produces too much of the hormone. The noticeable symptoms of the condition are irritability, fatigue, increased heartbeat, sweating, and weight loss. Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. It is a disease condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland.

2. HYPOTHYROIDISM

Hypothyroidism is the opposite of hyperthyroidism. It is a condition in which the thyroid does not make enough hormones. Too little production of thyroid hormones leads to symptoms like fatigue, constipation, depression, slow heartbeat,and weight gain. Hypothyroidism is often caused by Hashimoto's disease. 

3. GOITER

A goiter is an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck or upper chest. The most common cause of goiter is iodine deficiency in the diet. The symptoms of the goiter are usually not seen until it’s severe. The severe goiter symptoms include swelling in the neck, difficulty in breathing and swallowing, and hoarseness of the voice. 

4. THYROID NODULES

Thyroid nodules are any abnormal growth that forms a lump on the thyroid gland. They can occur in any part of the gland and can be felt easily if compared to other disorders. The causes of the nodules aren't always known but can include iodine deficiency. The symptoms of the thyroid nodules are similar to hyperthyroidism as they produce high levels of hormones. 

5. THYROID CANCER

Thyroid cancer is a condition characterized by the formation of cancer cells from the tissues of the gland. Thyroid cancer has a few noticeable symptoms including a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, swollen glands, and hoarse voice.

The above disorders can be effectively diagnosed and treated through consultation with the help of an experienced doctor. Usually, the doctor takes into consideration the noticeable signs, symptoms, and more critically, the blood tests in diagnosing the disease. The common thyroid blood tests suggested by the doctor include T3, T4, TSH, and thyroid antibodies testing. The doctor might suggest treatment options like surgery and medication based on the type of disorder.

New Advances in Thyroid Surgery

The medical field has witnessed rapid progress due to the advancements in science and technology. Highly advanced machine and surgical equipment have been introduced to deliver better treatment and care to the people with fewer side effects. The improvements in surgical techniques have enabled medical practitioners to conduct minimally-invasive surgeries. One such recent development in thyroid surgery is Trans-axillary thyroid surgery.

Thyroid gland is a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that produces thyroid hormones. Trans-axillary thyroid surgery is a surgical procedure in which the incision is made in the underarm area. This surgery is mainly done to operate small thyroid growths and it cannot be used to remove larger growths. Though the conventional method of surgery is favored, many patients were dissatisfied with the exposure of neck scar. But now, with the introduction of Trans Axillary method scars in the neck can be avoided.

Advantages of Trans Axillary method in thyroid surgery.

Trans Axillary thyroid surgery is a safe and effective method with an aesthetic approach. The main aim of the surgery is to avoid an incision in the neck. In conventional thyroid surgery, the incision in the neck can be clearly seen and sometimes keloid scars may develop and worsen, especially in dark-skinned people. 

In the Trans Axillary method, the surgery is done accessing the axilla or underarm to avoid the neck or chest wall incision. The scar occurred due to the surgery is hidden and remains under clothes. For the easy accessibility of thyroid gland, an incision of around four to five centimeters is made through the axilla (armpit). 

Patients who go through Trans Axillary thyroid surgery may experience less soreness and discomfort ability around the incision site. The time of recovery is faster when compared to traditional thyroid surgery.

The patients with trans axillary surgery experience less pain with increased cosmetic satisfaction, and with lower chances of postoperative voice change, paraesthesia and swallowing discomfort.

REPAIR OF THE MOST DELICATE MEMBRANE: THE EAR DRUM

The eardrum,  scientifically referred to as the tympanic membrane is a thin, cone-shaped membrane. Its main function is to transmit sound.

REASONS FOR EARDRUM DAMAGE:

The eardrum can be damaged or ruptured due to multiple reasons. Such as :

• Infections: commonly seen in children. Due to an infection, the fluid accumulating behind the eardrum causes pressure on the eardrum resulting from the fluid build up.  this can cause the eardrum to rupture.

• Pressure changes: This happens when the pressure outside the ear is different from pressure inside the ear.

• Injury: injuries can also rupture the eardrum, such as:

• Getting hit in the eardrum

• Sports  injury

• Falling on ear

• Car accidents.

What does eardrum damage look like?

 

An eardrum rupture is a small tear or a hole in the membrane.
Since it is a thin tissue it is very delicate. The ruptured eardrum is also called perforated eardrum.

What To Except After Septoplasty ?

Do you feel difficulty in breathing after an injury to the nose???

Then it might be because of deviated septum, which makes the nasal passage smaller and causes difficulty in breathing

You are not late!!!! If you are the one suffering from this, then do septoplasty, the surgical treatment to correct the deviated septum.

Now let's  know more about septoplasty .....

What is a septum?

The septum is a wall that divides nose into two separate nostrils. It is made from the bone and cartilage. A condition of deviated septum happened when nose septum is moved to the one side of the nose.

What are the symptoms of a deviated septum?

Generally, many people are born with a deviated septum but it can also occur due to an injury to the nose. People with a deviated septum have a smaller nasal passage which is much smaller than the other septum. This stage causes difficulty in breathing. Other symptoms include facial pain and nose bleeding.

What is the treatment for the deviated septum?

Surgery is the only way to repair the deviated septum. The surgery for a deviated septum is known as septoplasty. Septoplasty is a surgical process which is performed to repair a deviated nasal septum. When the cartilage that separates nostrils is displaced from its position, a stage of the deviated septum has occurred. A deviated septum can develop breathing problems, pain, and bleeding. Septoplasty is used to align the alignment of the septum that further improves airflow through the nose. It is an outpatient procedure. AUM ENT clinic is the best ENT clinic in Andheri, Mumbai.

What is the septoplasty procedure?

A septoplasty procedure takes around 30 to 90 minutes to perform, which depends on the problem complexity and condition. In septoplasty, a surgeon has developed an incision on the one side of the nose to reach to the septum. Then, the surgeon lifts up the mucous membrane. The mucous membrane is a protective membrane that covers the septum. Further, the surgeon realigns the deviated septum in the right position. In this process, any barriers such as extra pieces of cartilage or bone are removed to complete the process. The mucous membrane is repositioned after the surgery. The doctors of AUM ENT clinic, Mumbai are specialized for performing septoplasty.
