We Can Treat Thyroid Hormone Issues So You Can Get Back to Enjoying Life!

Benefits of Thyroid Hormone Therapy

Of the two kinds of thyroid imbalances requiring thyroid hormone therapy, hypothyroidism or too little thyroid hormone is far more common. Thyroid imbalances can impact your mood and energy levels. Bringing your thyroid hormone levels back into balance can:

IMPROVE ENERGY LEVELS

One of the main issues of thyroid imbalance is chronic fatigue and lack of energy. Bringing your thyroid hormones back into balance returns your metabolism to normal and provides increased energy.

REDUCE BODY FAT

Men and women with thyroid issues are often tired and overweight. By jump-starting your metabolism with thyroid replacement, you can burn fat and lose weight.

LESSEN FEELINGS OF DEPRESSIONS AND ANXIETY

Thyroid hormone therapy has been shown to improve mood and improve feelings of depression and anxiety.

RESTORED LIBIDO AND IMPROVED INTIMACY

Thyroid hormone therapy restores sex drive and reduces the other sexual health issues that often come with a thyroid imbalance.

How Does Thyroid Hormone Therapy Work?

Thyroid Hormone Therapy Acworth - Atlanta GA

In most cases, the goal of thyroid hormone therapy is to restore adequate levels for proper function in order to reverse signs or symptoms caused by hypothyroidism, such as weight gain or depression.

Thyroid hormone therapy is not one treatment but a comprehensive approach based on evaluation of your symptoms and diagnostic testing. There is not one simple treatment for thyroid imbalances. Thyroid hormone therapy could include iodine supplements, oral thyroid replacement hormones, along with diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

Your symptoms will be carefully evaluated, starting with a complete physical exam. After that, lab work is done to establish your thyroid function before we move on to treatment options that will be designed to reduce or eliminate your symptoms so that you can enjoy a better quality of life.

What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Thyroid Hormone Imbalance?

Thyroid issues are complex. Women can suffer from either too much or too little thyroid hormone, and the symptoms and treatment plans differ for each.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect from Thyroid Hormone Therapy?

Every patient’s thyroid hormone therapy will be different, and like any medical treatment or procedure, results can vary. In cases of hypothyroidism where your body is making too little thyroid hormone, thyroid hormone therapy involves the use of prescription thyroid hormones to raise the levels of natural thyroid hormones in the body. This kind of thyroid hormone therapy is usually given in pill form.In the case of hyperthyroidism, when there is too much thyroid hormone present, doctors use anti-thyroid medications and radioactive iodine to slow the production of thyroid hormones.

Common Questions About Thyroid Hormone Imbalance and Thyroid Hormone Therapy

What do thyroid hormones do?

The thyroid gland uses iodine to produce hormones that help regulate the body’s metabolism, including growth and other functions of the body. The thyroid gland is the only human tissue that actively absorbs and processes iodine from the diet, usually seafood or iodized salt.

What is hyperthyroidism?

The definition of hyperthyroidism is an overactive thyroid gland. As a result, the thyroid gland produces more hormones than the body needs. These high levels of thyroid hormone can lead to weight loss, increased heart rate, and heat intolerance.

What is hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism is defined as an underactive thyroid, which results in the gland producing less thyroid hormone than your body needs.

Which condition is more common, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism?

Hypothyroidism, or underactive thyroid, is much more common than hyperthyroidism.

What are the risk factors for hypothyroidism?

If you’re concerned about your risk of developing hypothyroidism, there are two main factors to consider—age and sex. Your chances of being hypothyroid increase with age, and they are greater if you’re a woman. Hypothyroidism occurs primarily in women older than 50.
