What Is a Thyroid Tumour?

Thyroid tumours are growths in the thyroid gland, ranging from benign adenomas to cancers like papillary or follicular carcinoma, often linked to genetic factors, radiation exposure, or iodine deficiency. Symptoms include neck lumps, swallowing difficulties, or hoarseness. Dr. Naveed Basheeth uses advanced diagnostics, such as ultrasound, fine needle aspiration, or imaging, to assess tumours and deliver tailored treatments.

Is Thyroid Tumour Treatment the Right Option for Me?

Treatment is suitable for those with symptomatic or suspicious thyroid tumours. You may benefit if you experience:

  • Visible or palpable neck lump
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing
  • Hoarseness or voice changes
  • Hormonal symptoms (e.g., weight changes)
  • Diagnosed or suspected thyroid cancer
  • Realistic expectations for treatment outcomes

How Is Thyroid Tumour Treatment Different From Other ENT Services?

Thyroid tumour treatment is uniquely tailored to address benign or malignant growths within the thyroid gland, setting it apart from broader ENT specialties managing ear, nasal, or throat conditions. It employs cutting-edge diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and PET-CT imaging, paired with targeted treatments like minimally invasive thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine therapy, or medication. This specialized approach ensures precise tumour management, restores hormonal balance, and preserves patient comfort and function with minimal invasiveness.

Does Recovery After Thyroid Tumour Treatment Take Long?

Recovery from thyroid tumour treatment varies by approach; non-surgical options, like radioactive iodine or medication, typically stabilize symptoms within a few weeks, while surgical procedures, such as thyroidectomy, result in mild, temporary discomfort like neck soreness or swelling, resolving within 1–2 weeks. Most patients resume normal activities within 2–3 weeks, guided by Dr. Basheeth’s customized aftercare plans, which prioritize comfort, promote efficient healing, and ensure sustained thyroid health through ongoing monitoring.
