THYROID CARE
Thyroid Care in Tiruppur
Whether your thyroid is underactive or overactive, we confirm it with the right tests, adjust the dose until you feel well, and check it regularly.
ADULT THYROID CARE
Thyroid Treatment in Tiruppur
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland produces too little or too much thyroid hormone, affecting metabolism, energy levels, weight, and other body functions.
At our thyroid clinic, Dr. Tushyanth V looks at your symptoms, your old and new thyroid reports and your other medicines, and asks about pregnancy plans, which can change the dose.
Care includes:
CONDITIONS WE MANAGE
Thyroid Problems We Treat
Each thyroid problem is confirmed with blood tests before treatment starts.
Hypothyroidism
An underactive thyroid, treated with one thyroxine tablet a day on an empty stomach. Most people need it for life, with regular TSH checks.
Hyperthyroidism
An overactive thyroid, often from Graves' disease. Treated with antithyroid tablets for 12 to 18 months, with blood count and liver checks.
Goitre and Thyroid Nodules
A swelling in the neck is checked with thyroid tests and an ultrasound by referral. Nodules that need a needle test (FNAC) are referred.
Borderline Thyroid Reports
A slightly high TSH with normal free T4 doesn't always need tablets. We repeat the test after 6 to 8 weeks before deciding on treatment.
Thyroid and Pregnancy
Check your TSH when planning a pregnancy or once it is confirmed. Women already on thyroxine usually need a higher dose, so tell us early.
SIGNS & EVALUATION
Signs of a Thyroid Problem
Thyroid problems come on slowly, so the signs are easy to miss. Get your thyroid tested if you notice:
Tiredness and feeling slow
Feeling cold
Weight gain or loss without a reason
Hair fall
Palpitations or shaking hands
Feeling hot and sweaty
Irregular periods
Swelling in the neck
When else should you get tested?
Get your thyroid tested even without symptoms if you are planning a pregnancy, are pregnant, or a close family member has thyroid disease.

ABOUT THE PHYSICIAN
Thyroid Care with Dr. Tushyanth V
Dr. Tushyanth V treats underactive and overactive thyroid, goitre and thyroid problems in pregnancy, with thyroid tests done in the hospital's own lab.
He adjusts the dose step by step, rechecking TSH 6 to 8 weeks after each change, until your reports and symptoms are steady.
Most thyroid reports are ready the same day, so the blood test and the consultation can usually be done in one visit, and your dose changed the same morning.
THYROID FAQS
Thyroid Questions Answered
Do I have to take thyroid tablets for life?
For most people with an underactive thyroid, yes. The tablet replaces a hormone the gland no longer makes and is safe long-term at the right dose. For an overactive thyroid, tablets are usually given for 12 to 18 months.
Is my weight gain because of thyroid?
An underactive thyroid can add a few kilos, much of it fluid, and this settles with treatment. It is rarely the main reason for large weight gain.
How should I take my thyroid tablet?
Alone with water on an empty stomach, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Keep iron and calcium tablets at least four hours apart from it.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Your old thyroid reports, the tablet strip showing your dose, and a list of other medicines and supplements. Tell us if you take biotin, as it can upset thyroid test results.
Which tests are done for thyroid?
TSH and free T4 first, then free T3, thyroid antibodies or an ultrasound only if needed. Most results are ready the same day.
How often do I need a follow-up?
6 to 8 weeks after each dose change, then every 6 to 12 months once your thyroid reports are stable.
Can I get pregnant if I have a thyroid problem?
Yes. Get your TSH checked before you plan, and tell us as soon as you are pregnant, since the dose usually needs to go up.
