Introduction Introduction Thyroid disorders are increasingly common, affecting a significant portion of the population in Jaipur and worldwide. These disorders can have a profound impact on a person s overall health, influencing metabolism, energy levels, and more. Dr. Sunny Singhal, a leading thyroid doctor in Jaipur, employs a comprehensive approach to diagnose thyroid disorders accurately and efficiently. Diagnosing thyroid disorders requires a methodical and detailed approach. As a seasoned thyroid doctor in Jaipur, Dr. Sunny Singhal combines his extensive knowledge with advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate and timely diagnosis of thyroid conditions.
Physical Examination Physical Examination Physical examination of thyroid disease by Dr. Sunny Singhal involves a systematic approach to evaluating thyroid gland abnormalities. The process starts with inspection, where the neck is observed for swelling or asymmetry. Palpation follows, assessing the gland's size, shape, consistency, and the presence of nodules. Dr. Singhal emphasizes the importance of checking for thyroid tenderness and bruits with auscultation, indicating hyperactivity. Additionally, he evaluates signs of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, such as dry skin, hair loss, or tremors. Dr. Singhal s thorough examination ensures accurate diagnosis and effective management of thyroid disorders.
Blood Tests Blood Tests Blood tests are a crucial component of diagnosing thyroid disorders. Dr. Sunny Singhal typically orders the following tests: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Test: This is often the first test done to assess thyroid function. Abnormal levels of TSH can indicate either hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Free T4 and Free T3 Tests: These tests measure the levels of thyroid hormones in the blood. Elevated or decreased levels can help pinpoint the specific type of thyroid disorder. Thyroid Antibodies: To identify autoimmune thyroid conditions such as Hashimoto s thyroiditis or Graves disease, Dr. Sunny Singhal may test for thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies and thyroglobulin antibodies.
Imaging Studies Imaging Studies If the physical examination and blood tests suggest abnormalities, Dr. Sunny Singhal might recommend imaging studies: Ultrasound: An ultrasound of the thyroid gland helps in visualizing the structure of the thyroid. It can detect nodules, cysts, and other structural changes. Radioactive Iodine Uptake Test: This test measures how much iodine the thyroid gland absorbs from the bloodstream, which can help in diagnosing hyperthyroidism and differentiating between various causes of thyroid dysfunction. Thyroid Scan: A thyroid scan provides detailed images of the thyroid gland and helps in assessing the size, shape, and position of the gland and any nodules present.
