Thyroid Disorder Diagnosis and Management in Altamonte Springs

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck that plays a major role in regulating your body’s metabolism. When the thyroid gland doesn’t function properly, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms that affect nearly every system in your body. At FloridaMD Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and long-term management of common thyroid abnormalities to help you regain balance and feel your best.

Common Thyroid Conditions We Manage

Our primary care physicians are skilled at identifying and treating the most common thyroid disorders:

  • Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid): This occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones. Symptoms can be subtle and develop over time, including fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, dry skin, and depression.
  • Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid): This occurs when the thyroid gland produces too many hormones. Symptoms can include unexplained weight loss, rapid or irregular heartbeat, anxiety, irritability, and difficulty sleeping.
  • Thyroid Nodules: Lumps that can develop in the thyroid gland. While most are benign, some may require further evaluation to rule out cancer.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Thyroid Care

Managing a thyroid condition begins with an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.

  • Routine Screenings: We perform simple blood tests, such as a TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) test, to check your thyroid function. Routine screenings are an important part of our preventive care services.
  • Accurate Diagnosis: If your TSH levels are abnormal, we may order additional tests to get a complete picture of your thyroid health. This helps us confirm a diagnosis and determine the best course of action.
  • Personalized Medication Management: For hypothyroidism, we prescribe thyroid hormone replacement medication, such as levothyroxine, to restore your hormone levels to a healthy range. We work with you to find the correct dosage and monitor your progress through regular blood tests. For hyperthyroidism, we may prescribe medication to reduce hormone production or discuss other treatment options.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: Thyroid conditions are chronic, and regular follow-up appointments are essential. We will continue to monitor your hormone levels and adjust your medication as needed to ensure long-term stability and symptom control.
