Underactive Thyroid
Hypothyroidism
Overview
Understanding Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine conditions, particularly in women. It occurs when the thyroid gland fails to produce sufficient thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), leading to a slowing of the body's metabolic processes.
Dr Humayun offers expert assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing management of hypothyroidism, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis and other causes. Treatment is tailored to each patient, ensuring optimal hormone levels and improved quality of life.
