Graves' Disease Treatment in Gurgaon

Graves’ Disease is a condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, causing it to produce more thyroid hormones than needed. This condition is one of the most common causes of hyperthyroidism.

It can affect individuals of any age, but is more common in

• Women more than men.

• People under 40 years of age.

• Individuals with a family history of thyroid or autoimmune disorders.

Symptoms of Graves’ Disease may develop slowly and vary from person to person. Common signs include

General Symptoms

• Unexplained weight loss despite normal appetite.

• Increased heart rate or palpitations.

• Nervousness, anxiety, and irritability.

• Tremors in hands and fingers.

• Fatigue.

• Muscle weakness.

Physical Symptoms

• Enlarged thyroid gland (goitre)

• Sweating and heat intolerance.

• Bulging eyes (Graves’ ophthalmopathy)

• Irregular or lighter menstrual cycles.

• Sleep disturbances.

If left untreated, symptoms may worsen and affect heart health and vision.

The exact cause of Graves’ Disease is not fully known, but it is primarily an autoimmune condition.

Possible factors include

• Family history of thyroid disease.

• Immune system dysfunction.

• Stressful life events.

• Smoking.

Other autoimmune disorders, like Type 1 diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.

Diagnosis includes a combination of clinical evaluation and laboratory tests.

Common Diagnostic Tests:

• Thyroid Function Tests (T3, T4, TSH levels)

• Thyroid antibody tests (TRAb test)

• Ultrasound of the thyroid gland

• Radioactive iodine uptake scan to assess thyroid activity

• Eye examination (if eye symptoms are present)

Accurate diagnosis is a very important part of ensuring the right treatment options available for patients diagnosed with Graves' disease are being utilized in the best way possible.

Treatment helps control thyroid hormone levels as well as reduce symptoms.

1. Medications

• Antithyroid drugs reduce hormone production.

• Beta-blockers to control heart rate and tremors.

2. Radioactive Iodine Therapy

• Destroys overactive thyroid cells slowly.

• Commonly used for long-term control.

3. Surgery (Thyroidectomy)

• Partial or total removal of your thyroid gland.

• Usually recommended for severe as well as non-responsive cases.

4. Eye Treatment

Special treatment for Graves’ eye disease if required.

Treatment is individualized based on the patient's condition, age, and severity.
