Thyroid Disorder Treatment in Johor Bahru

Masalah Tiroid

Thyroid disorders are common but often undiagnosed in Malaysia, affecting women 5-8 times more than men. Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) causes fatigue and weight gain, while hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) causes weight loss, anxiety, and rapid heartbeat. A simple blood test can detect thyroid problems accurately.

Symptoms of Thyroid Disorder

βœ“Unexplained weight changes (gain or loss)
βœ“Fatigue and lethargy (hypothyroid)
βœ“Anxiety, tremors, and restlessness (hyperthyroid)
βœ“Hair loss and dry skin
βœ“Feeling cold or heat intolerant
βœ“Irregular menstrual periods in women

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you experience persistent fatigue, unexplained weight changes, mood changes, hair loss, or irregular periods. A neck swelling (goitre) should always be evaluated. Regular thyroid screening is recommended for women over 35.
