Thyroid disorders are said to be more and more common nowadays due to changes in lifestyle, stress, as well as factors related to dieting. The thyroid gland is a small organ that is shaped like a butterfly located in the neck and plays an important role in keeping metabolism in check, energy production, and health. However, if it is left unchecked, severe thyroid imbalances can lead to severe health complications, such as weight fluctuations, fatigue, hair loss, and heart issues.
We at Mediyaar Healthcare are offering comprehensive thyroid test packages in Chandigarh that help diagnose and detect thyroid-related conditions. Our affordable and accurate test packages take care of people who are seeking early detection and effective management of thyroid disorders.

Why is Thyroid Testing Important?
Most Thyroid disorders have a very silent stage where there are little to no changes during the early stages. Therefore, it is very important to keep a close eye on any changes that you may notice within your lifestyle or health that may give you a better idea of what you may have. If it is left untreated, the risk of getting a life-threatening health complication grows bigger with each passing day. By doing regular testing, you will be able to:
-
Find out about Thyroid disorders earlier, like Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism.
-
Keep track of all the thyroid hormone levels to get the necessary treatment.
-
Figure out where the potential causes of weight gain, fatigue and mood swings are required.
-
Assess the effectiveness of medications used for healing the Thyroid Gland.
-
Prevent any long-term and life-threatening issues with constant checkups to remove the possibility of Heart Disease and Osteoporosis.
Thyroid Test Packages Available in Chandigarh
1. Basic Thyroid Screening Package- This test package is mainly for those who have no history of any Thyroid issues, yet are experiencing symptoms that may indicate Thyroid complications, such as tiredness, change in weight, as well as hair loss. The tests that are included in this test package are:
-
T3 (Triiodothyronine)- This test is used for finding thyroid conditions, specifically those which can monitor the treatments for any existing Thyroid conditions.
-
T4 (Thyroxine)- This test is used for measuring the amount of T4 within a patient’s blood as well as monitoring the functionality of the thyroid and identifying any disorders that may be present in the thyroid.
-
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)- This test is used to see if the thyroid is functioning properly and lets the thyroid know how much TSH is needed to be made in the body.
This test is especially recommended for trying out a General Thyroid Screening and for Early Detection of Thyroid Disorders or Diseases.
2. Advanced Thyroid Test Packages- This test package is vital for anyone who already has an existing Thyroid disorder or those in need of a complete Thyroid Assessment. There are two tests for the following:
-
Thyroid Profile Advanced- This test is used for measuring the amount of T3, T4 and TSH hormones in the blood that helps with the diagnosis of thyroid disorders.
-
Thyroid Profile Basic- This test is used to evaluate the functions of the thyroid through the measurement of hormones that are detected in the blood. It also helps in identifying potential disorders that may affect the thyroid.
Causes for Thyroid Disorders
There are lots of factors that can influence thyroid disorders to happen. Some of them are more susceptible than others. These include:
Iodine Deficiency- If there is a significant lack of Iodine within your body, you will start to face symptoms of disorders and diseases such as Hypothyroidism in a lot of areas around your body and Goiter, which affects the Thyroid gland, causing it to enlarge and seem bloated and Impaired Cognitive Development for both children and pregnant women.
Autoimmune Disease- This affects the Thyroid gland whenever the immune system mistakes the Thyroid Gland as an intruder in the human body and causes serious damage to it. One of the diseases that is responsible for this is Graves’ Disease, which makes the thyroid gland produce too many thyroid hormones and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, which attacks and reduces the amount of hormones produced, leading to fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity and constipation.
Genetic Factors- In case you have a family history that has connections with Thyroid disorders, there is a chance it may also be passed down to you, which increases the risk of getting it or by environmental factors which also affect the genetic factor of being a recipient of a thyroid disorder.
Hormonal Imbalance- This affects the Thyroid by either enhancing one particular hormone too much or getting too little of another hormone, disrupting the process of the Thyroid gland and leading to a variety of symptoms and complications related to the health of an individual.
Medications and Treatments- Undergoing treatments and medications that have either Radiation Treatments, Lithium Medications, or interventions through surgery can very seriously affect the way the Thyroid Gland operates, either worsening existing conditions or creating new conditions, depending on what treatment you attempt.
Symptoms Indicating a Need for Thyroid Testing
How would you know when to go for a health checkup related to your thyroid? Down below are some of the symptoms that might specify whether you have a thyroid disorder or not:
-
Unexplained Weight Gain or Loss- This is a very common symptom for a person who is experiencing thyroid issues, as there might be some weight irregularities, even if you haven’t changed your diet or training regimen.
-
Persistent Fatigue and Low Energy Levels- These symptoms occur whenever there is an underactive Thyroid or Hypothyroidism, which will raise some concerns and require you to attend a Thyroid Test.
-
Hair Thinning or Excessive Hair Fall- Hair fall can be a good indicator that you need to have a Thyroid Test, as Thyroid imbalances can lead to a lot of hair loss, which starts to thin near the scalp, rather than traditional baldness. This may lead to other physical changes if not taken care of.
-
Dry Skin and Brittle Nails- Due to hypothyroidism, the skin will usually dehydrate, which causes the skin to dry up and have a yellowish hue to it. Our nails may have some fragility to them, which causes them to break or be torn off easily due to a small amount of Hypothyroidism being present.

Frequent Mood Swings and Depression- Both Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism are capable of giving more anxiety and irritability, which are symptoms of Thyroid disorders.
