Understanding Thyroid and Parathyroid Glands

What is the Thyroid?

The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck, just below the Adam's apple. It plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism by producing hormones that affect the heart rate, energy levels, body weight, and temperature.

• Thyroid nodules (solid or fluid-filled lumps)
• Goiter (enlargement of the thyroid gland)
• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)
• Thyroid cancer

What is the Parathyroid?

The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located behind the thyroid gland. Their main function is to regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood and bones through the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH).

• Primary hyperparathyroidism (excess PTH causing high calcium levels)
• Parathyroid adenomas (benign tumors)
• Secondary hyperparathyroidism (due to kidney disease or low calcium)

When is Surgery Required?

Surgery is the most effective treatment for many thyroid and parathyroid conditions, especially when:

• Nodules are suspicious or cancerous
• The thyroid gland is enlarged and causing difficulty in breathing/swallowing
• There is unmanageable overproduction of thyroid hormones
• Calcium levels are dangerously high due to parathyroid dysfunction
• Non-surgical treatments have failed
