Induced Hyperthyroidism

Induced hyperthyroidism is an excess of thyroid hormones in the body whose origin is related to an external factor or trigger, rather than to spontaneous activity of the thyroid gland.

Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the appropriate professional to study thyroid function; the internist and the general practitioner also participate in the patient's initial guidance.

Frequent symptoms: Among the reported complaints are nervousness, palpitations, increased sweating, weight loss, and a feeling of warmth.

When to see a doctor? With these persistent signs, it's worth seeking a professional evaluation, since a proper study of the thyroid makes it possible to understand the origin of the hormonal imbalance and provide appropriate follow-up.
