How Thyroid Doctor In Dallas Helps With Therapy Options

By Jason Kordobu


You may have heard people say something like; it is just your thyroid. The truth is there is nothing about your thyroid that should be so easily dismissed. Thyroid disorders can be manifested with weight gain, weight loss, cholesterol levels and even bowel functions. Your Dallas thyroid doctor can work with you to get to the root of your symptoms.

The thyroid is a small, endocrine gland. It is shaped like a butterfly and found in the front of the neck. It produces hormones that control the metabolism and how the body uses energy. Hypothyroidism, an under active gland, and hyperthyroidism, an overactive gland, are two common malfunctions of the gland.

Hypothyroidism manifests itself in may different ways. One of these ways is a hormonal imbalance of progesterone and estrogen. Women may experience irregular menstrual periods, chronic fatigue or osteoporosis. Many doctors will see these symptoms and prescribe medication to correct them. The symptoms may subside, but as soon as medication is stopped they will return. If the underlying cause is not addressed, the patient will be subject to a lifetime of taking medications to correct the symptoms.

Everyone knows somebody with high cholesterol or high blood pressure, or both. Maybe you have these conditions yourself. If the doctor prescribes medication to manage these conditions, the blood pressure will lower and the cholesterol levels may come down. But, when the underlying cause is evaluated and addressed, these conditions may return to normal naturally.

This Dallas physician has helped many patients return their thyroid function to normal. He identifies what is causing the symptoms and works with his patients to correct the cause. This is preferable to a lifetime of taking medications.

Your doctor sees the symptoms, but looks deeper into what is causing the thyroid to malfunction. Yes, you can be healthy without taking a long list of prescription drugs. When the thyroid returns to normal function, you can say goodbye to those troubling symptoms.
