At our hospital, we understand that even small hormonal imbalances can significantly affect your quality of life. The thyroid gland, though small, plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, heart function, mood, fertility, and overall wellbeing.
Thyroid disorders are common in the UAE, particularly among women.
The good news is that with early diagnosis and specialized care, most thyroid conditions can be effectively managed.
What Is the Thyroid Gland
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of the neck. It produces hormones that regulate how your body uses energy.
When thyroid hormone levels are too low or too high, multiple body systems can be affected often in subtle ways that are easy to overlook.
Common Thyroid Conditions We Treat
Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)
This condition occurs when the thyroid does not produce enough hormones.
In the UAE region, the most common cause is autoimmune thyroid disease, particularly Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Symptoms may include:
- Persistent fatigue
- Weight gain
- Hair thinning
- Constipation
- Cold intolerance
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Difficulty conceiving
With accurate diagnosis and individualized thyroid hormone replacement therapy, patients typically experience significant improvement.
Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid produces excessive hormones.
The most frequent cause is Graves’ disease.
Symptoms may include:
• Unexplained weight loss
• Palpitations
• Anxiety or irritability

Thyroid nodules are common and often discovered incidentally during routine check-ups.
