The thyroid gland is a bow-tie-shaped gland located at the front of the neck, below Adam’s apple. It produces thyroid hormones, called T3 and T4 (T3 is the active hormone). T3 and T4 are regulated by thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), secreted by the pituitary gland in a pulsatile fashion. Generally, thyroid hormones regulate almost every cell and affect every system in the body. Their primary function is controlling the rate of metabolism and thermogenesis. However, the thyroid (and often the adrenal glands) is often affected by aging. According to surveys, nearly 80% of the total population suffers from a thyroid disorder but remains unaware of the underlying cause. Therefore, Thyroid Treatment in Dubai with the help of screening tests, like the Thyroflex, is essential for primary health assessment.

What is the Thyroflex Test?
A Thyroflex Test is a non-invasive testing system that helps diagnose and manage numerous thyroid disorders.
Generally, up to 50% of people have low thyroid (Hypothyroid) by the time they reach 50. Due to the lack of sensitivity of the blood tests and the fact that people cannot lose weight with a low functioning thyroid, we use an FDA-approved simple diagnostic tool, The Thyroflex.
The Thyroflex test is simple, safe, and non-invasive. It, together with the clients’ history, examination, and blood tests, gives a far more accurate picture of the function of the thyroid. Results are available immediately. (We do this as part of the BHRT program). At the end of the test, the practitioner will be able to declare the patient hypothyroid, hyperthyroid, or euthyroid.
“I am often asked how the correct dose of [thyroid hormone medication] is determined. The answer is clinically by the patient’s pulse rate, his sense of wellbeing, the texture of the skin, his tolerance of cold, his bowel function, and the speed with which his deep tendon reflexes relax.”
– Sir RIS Bayliss MD, FRCP, MRCS Consultant Endocrinologist Lister Hospital London
