Postpartum thyroiditis affects some women within the first year after childbirth. It may cause temporary hyperthyroidism, followed by hypothyroidism.
Our Approach to Postpartum Thyroiditis:

-
Phased Treatment: Managing hyperthyroid and hypothyroid phases effectively.
-
Education and Support: Guidance on recognizing symptoms and maintaining well-being during recovery.
What Sets Our Hypothyroidism Care Apart
We go beyond standard thyroiditis care by integrating advanced diagnostic and management techniques to ensure comprehensive, personalized treatment for our patients:
​​
Routine Thyroid Ultrasound: Every consultation includes a thyroid ultrasound to monitor gland size, detect inflammation, and identify thyroid nodules, which are often undiagnosed in hypothyroid patients. Studies show that over 60% of individuals with hypothyroidism have nodules, and our proactive approach ensures early detection and effective management.
Weight Management
Expert Weight Management: We address weight gain, a common concern in hypothyroidism, using internationally recognized weight management protocols. Our services include tailored nutritional planning, medication options such as Semaglutide and Mounjaro, and coordination for advanced therapies like bariatric surgery and gastric balloon procedures. Our team monitors progress closely to help you achieve and maintain your health goals.
