Frequently asked question: How are thyroid gland disorders detected?

If a change occurs in the functioning of your thyroid gland, you might not always notice it. Sometimes, the change can occur very gradually. On the other hand, you might have a lot of complaints and notice that something is definitely wrong. It is sometimes difficult to see whether your thyroid gland is entirely or partially enlarged. To find this out, the structure and size of the thyroid gland, as well as its function, must be examined.
