The
Thyroid Gland is a small butterfly shaped endocrine gland found in your neck midline. This gland though small secretes hormones that have huge effects to your well being all over your body. Any small anomaly have huge consequences in your physical and mental balance!
It can be infected, have autonomic disturbances, be afflicted with immune mediated diseases or could develop tumors both benign and cancerous.
It is very important that a doctor properly assess your thyroid gland clinically, and then advise you appropriately. Please meet a good ENT, Head & Neck Surgeon in a hospital(avoid small nursing homes with CPS diploma ENT doctors!) Get all your blood tests done after 12 hours' fasting at an NABL accredited Laboratory. Another basic test is a Thyroid Ultrasonographic Doppler Study to assess the size, structure and vascularity of the thyroid.
Initial tests are a bit expensive but well worth it in the long run in helping your doctor reach a correct diagnosis.
