Thyroid
When people refer to "thyroid" in a consultation, they usually mean disorders of this butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck, responsible for producing hormones that regulate metabolism. Its disorders can cause it to work too much, too little, or lead to the formation of nodules.
Possible manifestations: Depending on the type of disorder, weight changes, fatigue, mood changes, cold or heat intolerance, or a lump in the neck may appear.
How it is studied: Clinical evaluation, blood tests, and imaging studies help understand how the gland is functioning.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the reference for thyroid disorders, with support from the internist and, in certain cases, the surgeon. If you notice persistent symptoms or a change in the neck, it is advisable to discuss it with a physician for an appropriate assessment.
