Thyroid Conditions

Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a common type of hormone imbalance, in which the body does not produce enough of the thyroid hormone. Hypothyroidism can lead to a variety of symptoms that affect a patient’s health and quality of life. It can also cause fertility problems in women. Today, many physicians rely solely on blood tests to diagnose hypothyroidism and use less effective synthetic medications to treat it. Dr. Melnick believes that the patient’s symptoms reveal more information than the results of a blood test, as many patients have symptoms even though blood tests show they are in a “normal” range. He also uses natural thyroid medications, which tend to be more effective in alleviating symptoms.

Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a form of hypothyroidism caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland. With this type of hypothyroidism, diet can be just as important as medication in controlling the autoimmune response.

Treating Hypothyroidism with Telemedicine

Hypothyroidism is an ideal condition to treat via telemedicine, as a patient’s symptoms are the best indicator as to whether or not treatment is working. Dr. Melnick has offered telemedicine consultations and treatment for hypothyroidism for over 5 years. This option is very convenient for patients who lead very busy lifestyles, as well as those who live out of town and have not had success with hypothyroid treatment locally.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy for Menopause

It is well known that the female hormone, estrogen, in any of its various forms, is a successful treatment that eliminates many symptoms of menopause. Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is a treatment option for women going through peri-menopause or menopause when the symptoms interfere with their daily life. The hormones are totally natural and are bioidentical, as they are an exact molecular copy of Estrogen and Testosterone made by a woman's ovaries. Hormones are delivered through an approach called 'pelleting', which is the insertion of tiny time-released pellets of bioidentical hormone medication under the skin.
