Symptoms of a Hernia
An indication of a hernia is a visible bump in the affected area, which may be more noticeable during certain activities or in certain positions. They may be accompanied by symptoms such as intermittent pain around the hernia, abdominal distention (swelling), nausea, vomiting and constipation.
Symptoms of Thyroid Disorders
Depending on whether the thyroid is underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), symptoms of thyroid diseases include fatigue, hair loss, unexplained weight gain or weight loss, sensitivity to heat or cold, depressed mood, irregular menstrual periods and a faster than heart rate.
It may be tricky for one to identify if their symptoms are related to a thyroid disorder. Hence, it may be wise to visit our clinic where we provide a full suite of thyroid diagnostic procedures.
What are thyroid nodules?
A thyroid nodule is an unusual growth of cells within the gland, leaving you with a visible lump in the neck. Most cases of thyroid nodules are benign (non-cancerous), but in severe cases they can be.
Symptoms of Digestive disorders
Abdominal pain, blood in the stools, difficulty swallowing and heartburns are some of the symptoms related to a digestive disorder.
In more severe cases, they may indicate diseases such as gallstones, stomach cancer and colorectal cancer.
At Thomas Ho Surgery, we carry out endoscopies to accurately diagnose symptoms and provide the right course of treatment.
