Thyroid disorders represent one of the most prevalent yet underdiagnosed health concerns in India today \u2014 approximately 1 in 10 adults suffer from hypothyroidism, and alarmingly, one-third of those affected remain completely unaware of their condition. Women are three times more likely to develop hypothyroidism than men, making regular thyroid screening especially critical for female patients. At Galaxy Hospital, our Endocrine & Breast Surgery Department places special emphasis on early detection, timely diagnosis, and effective management of thyroid disorders to prevent long-term complications.<\/p>\n
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck that plays a vital role in regulating the body’s temperature, growth, and metabolism. When this gland underperforms or overperforms, it can impact virtually every organ system in the body \u2014 leading to fatigue, weight changes, mood disturbances, and more. Our experienced endocrine surgeons and specialists work closely with patients to evaluate thyroid function through advanced hormone assays and imaging, offering both medical management and precise surgical intervention \u2014 including thyroidectomy \u2014 when required, ensuring complete, compassionate care under one roof.<\/p>\n
Breast health is an equally vital focus of our department, where we provide comprehensive screening, diagnosis, and surgical treatment for a wide range of breast conditions \u2014 from benign lumps, cysts, and fibroadenomas to breast cancer at various stages. Our surgeons are trained in both conventional and advanced breast-conserving surgical techniques, including lumpectomy and modified radical mastectomy, supported by a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, radiologists, and reconstructive specialists. We encourage all women to undergo regular breast examinations and mammography screenings, as early detection remains the single most powerful tool in achieving successful outcomes in breast cancer treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
