Thyroid Disorders
Balancing Hormones. Restoring Health. Improving Quality of Life
Thyroid disorders occur when the thyroid gland — a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the neck — produces either too much (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism) of the thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). These hormones control metabolism, energy levels, body temperature, and many vital functions. Thyroid problems can also include goiter, thyroid nodules, and autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or Graves’ disease.
At Dr. Ashik Ikbal’s clinic in North Kolkata, patients with thyroid disorders receive a complete, evidence-based approach that blends accurate diagnosis, modern medical treatments, and lifestyle guidance. Whether it’s a hormonal imbalance or a structural problem, Dr. Ikbal focuses on restoring normal thyroid function and preventing long-term complications.
