Thyroid Conditions

When neck swelling, fatigue, or voice changes point to a deeper hormonal cause

Feeling Tired, Swollen in the Neck, or Hoarse?

Your Thyroid May Be Involved.

Dr. Peerbaccus helps detect and monitor thyroid nodules, goitre, and related ENT symptoms — working with endocrinologists when needed for comprehensive care.

What Is the Thyroid?

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the lower front of your neck. It plays a vital role in regulating:

◎ Metabolism
◎ Body temperature
◎ Energy levels
◎ Weight
◎ Heart rate

When it’s not functioning properly or becomes enlarged, symptoms can show up in the voice, swallowing, and appearance of the neck.

When to Suspect a Thyroid Problem

◎ Noticeable swelling or lump in the neck
◎ Feeling of a “tight collar” or pressure when swallowing
◎ Persistent hoarseness or voice change
◎ Fatigue, weight changes, or cold sensitivity
◎ Difficulty breathing when lying flat
◎ Family history of thyroid disease

How Dr. Peerbaccus Evaluates the Thyroid

◎ Neck palpation and visual assessment
◎ Flexible endoscopy to check for airway or vocal cord impact
◎ Ultrasound referral to view thyroid structure
◎ Fine needle aspiration (FNA) referral if a nodule is found
◎ Collaboration with endocrinologist for hormone testing and long-term treatment

Conditions Managed

◎ Goitre (thyroid enlargement)
◎ Thyroid nodules
◎ Compressive thyroid causing swallowing/breathing issues
◎ Thyroid cancer suspicion and referral
◎ ENT impact from overactive/underactive thyroid (e.g. vocal changes)
