Everything You Need to Know About Your Thyroid
About this episode
Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey discuss the importance of thyroid health and its impact on various aspects of well-being.
Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey are looking at everything you need to know about your thyroid - the tiny butterfly-shaped gland that has a huge impact on your energy, weight, mood, heart, hair, skin and overall health. They talk about why thyroid problems affect women far more than men, the signs of an underactive and overactive thyroid, why tiredness, hair loss and weight changes shouldn't always be blamed on menopause, and when a lump in your neck needs urgent medical attention. Plus, how thyroid conditions are treated, and why finding the right medication dose isn't always straightforward. In this week's Chat GP, Dr Amir answers a listener's question about prostate cancer, family history and genetic testing. 💬 Got a question?
