FAQ

Common Questions about Thyroid Disorder

Connect with us
What’s the Difference Between Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism?
  • Hypothyroidism: A condition that occurs when the thyroid gland doesn’t produce enough hormones, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and depression.
  • Hyperthyroidism: A condition that occurs when the thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone, causing symptoms like rapid heart rate, weight loss, and anxiety.

Both conditions are treatable with proper diagnosis and care at Aura Endocrine and Diabetes.

  • Thyroid Nodules: Nodules are growths on thyroid follicular cells. Although most nodules are benign, we at Aura are trained to identify and biopsy high-risk nodules that can be cancerous. We use advanced thyroid ultrasound techniques to diagnose nodules and, if needed, perform in-office biopsies to determine their nature. Thyroid nodule biopsy is an office-based procedure and patients can go back to regular activity the same day.
  • Thyroid Cancer: Treatment may include surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, or hormone therapy. At Aura, we also perform in-office lymph node biopsies to manage thyroid cancer and assess its spread. We do follow the latest treatment guidelines put forth by ATA.
