Wilmington Urgent Care Thyroid Test and Management Near You

Having a thyroid disorder can disrupt your life in serious ways. The thyroid gland influences nearly every metabolic process in your body, so it's of utmost importance to ensure a healthy gland.

The most common thyroid disorders are hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Besides these two, there are a wide range of thyroid disorders that can be either mild or severe:

• Graves' disease: production of too much thyroid hormone.
• Hashimoto's thyroiditis: autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid to become chronically inflamed.
• Goiter: a painless enlargement of the thyroid, which can cause coughing and difficulty swallowing and breathing.
• Thyroid nodules: these are small, fluid-filled lumps on the thyroid that generally do not cause symptoms and rarely require treatment. Nodules can be cancerous, so it's important to have them tested. Treatment may be required if the nodules are larger and/or overproduce thyroid hormones.

Thyroid disorders vary greatly in their effects on your overall health, so it's important to get an urgent care thyroid test to determine the right treatment plan.
