Thyroid Medicine
A
thyroid medicine specialist
or
endocrinologist
deals with disorders of the thyroid. Thyroid disorders can include an overactive gland, called
hyperthyroidism
, or an underactive gland, called
hypothyroidism
. Both can result in an enlarged thyroid gland. A
thyroid nodule
is a small swelling or lump in the thyroid gland. Sometimes surgery is required to remove the thyroid. Surgeries are performed by a
head and neck surgeon
or
otolaryngologist
. Sometimes the thyroid is fully or partially removed for cancer treatment or enlargement of the gland. This procedure is called a
thyroidectomy
. After removal the patient is on thyroid replacement medication for life.
