Thyroid Treatment in Mohali — Beyond the TSH Test

India has one of the world's highest rates of thyroid disease — estimated 1 in 10 adults. In Mohali and the Tricity region, thyroid disorders are extremely common. Yet most patients are managed with a single TSH test and a fixed dose of levothyroxine. This is not enough for many patients.

15–20% of hypothyroid patients do not respond adequately to T4 alone and need combination T3+T4 therapy. Most never get this. At Gini Advanced Care Hospital, Sector 69 Mohali, Dr. Anil Bhansali — former Head of Endocrinology at PGIMER for 20 years — provides comprehensive thyroid care with a full panel, co-management with Dr. Deepika Gupta for thyroid-fertility-menopause overlap, and 15-minute in-house lab results.

Conditions We Treat

Thyroid Conditions Treated at Gini Mohali

From subclinical hypothyroidism to complex Graves' disease and thyroid nodule management — all under Dr. Bhansali's supervision.

🐌

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid)

TSH high · Free T4 low

Fatigue, weight gain, cold intolerance, hair loss, constipation, brain fog, depression, dry skin, slow heart rate. Most common thyroid disorder in Mohali and the Tricity. Treated with levothyroxine (T4). 15–20% of patients need combination T3+T4 therapy — Dr. Bhansali assesses and prescribes this when indicated, which most endocrinologists in the region do not offer.

⚡

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid)

TSH low · Free T4 / T3 high

Palpitations, unexplained weight loss, anxiety, tremor, heat intolerance, sweating, diarrhoea, insomnia. Causes: Graves' disease, toxic nodule, toxic multinodular goitre. Treatment is matched to cause — antithyroid drugs (with potential for remission in Graves'), radioiodine, or surgery.

📊

Subclinical Hypothyroidism

TSH elevated · Free T4 normal

Treatment decision depends on: TSH level, symptoms, age, pregnancy plans, and Anti-TPO antibody status. Anti-TPO positive patients are at higher risk of progression and need closer monitoring. Dr. Bhansali provides a nuanced, individualised recommendation — not an automatic prescription or dismissal.

🛡️

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

Most common cause of hypothyroidism in India

Autoimmune attack on the thyroid. Requires Anti-TPO and Anti-TG testing — TSH alone will miss many Hashimoto's cases. Management: levothyroxine, selenium supplementation where evidence supports it, and monitoring. Frequently co-exists with PCOS — both diagnosed and treated at Gini in a single visit.

👁️

Graves' Disease

Autoimmune hyperthyroidism · TRAb testing required

Caused by TRAb antibodies stimulating the thyroid. May cause eye disease (Graves' ophthalmopathy). Treatment options — antithyroid drugs, radioiodine, or surgery — discussed with Dr. Bhansali based on severity and patient preference. TRAb levels monitored to assess remission.

🔵

Thyroid Nodules

TIRADS classification · Biopsy when indicated

Very common — found in 50%+ of adults on ultrasound. Most are benign. TIRADS score (ultrasound features) guides biopsy decisions. Dr. Bhansali reviews ultrasound and arranges FNAC when indicated. Coordination with our surgical team for thyroidectomy if pathology warrants it.

🤰

Thyroid in Pregnancy

Critical management · Trimester-specific TSH targets

First trimester TSH target: <2.5 mIU/L. Undertreated hypothyroidism in pregnancy increases miscarriage risk and impairs foetal brain development. Dr. Bhansali and Dr. Deepika Gupta jointly manage thyroid disorders from pre-conception planning through postpartum thyroiditis. This combined approach is unique to Gini in Mohali.

🌸

Thyroid and PCOS

Frequently co-existing — both treated at Gini

Hashimoto's thyroiditis and PCOS frequently co-exist — both are autoimmune/metabolic and both affect menstrual cycles and fertility. Women with PCOS should be screened for thyroid disease. At Gini, both are diagnosed and treated simultaneously in a single visit — eliminating months of sequential referrals.

🌿

Thyroid and Menopause

Symptoms overlap · Simultaneous assessment at Gini

Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, and hair thinning are shared symptoms of both thyroid disease and menopause. Many Mohali women are treated for one condition when they have both. Dr. Bhansali and Dr. Deepika Gupta always test FSH + TSH + Free T4 together — correct diagnosis from the first visit.

Our Approach

Gini's Thyroid Approach — What Happens in Your Consultation

🔬

Full Thyroid Panel

TSH + Free T3 + Free T4 + Anti-TPO + Anti-TG as standard. TRAb when hyperthyroidism or Graves' is suspected. Results in 15 minutes — reviewed with you during the consultation. Thyroid ultrasound co-ordinated on the same visit if needed.

💊

T3+T4 Combination When Needed

For patients who don't respond adequately to T4 alone — 15–20% of hypothyroid patients. Dr. Bhansali assesses clinical response and DIO2 gene variant factors to determine who benefits from adding liothyronine (T3). This is not available from most endocrinologists in Mohali.

🖥️

Ultrasound & Nodule Management

Thyroid ultrasound for goitre and nodule assessment. TIRADS classification. FNAC arranged for nodules requiring biopsy. Surgical referral within Gini when thyroidectomy is indicated. No need for external centres.

🤰

Pregnancy & Fertility Management

Pre-conception thyroid optimisation. Trimester-specific TSH targets during pregnancy. Postpartum thyroiditis monitoring. Dr. Bhansali + Dr. Deepika Gupta joint management for Mohali patients planning or expecting.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions — Thyroid Treatment in Mohali

Common questions from Mohali patients about thyroid care at Gini Hospital.

Where can I get thyroid treatment in Mohali? +
Gini Advanced Care Hospital, Sector 69 SAS Nagar Mohali, is the most specialised thyroid centre in the city. Dr. Anil Bhansali — former Head of Endocrinology at PGIMER Chandigarh for 20 years — sees patients Mon–Sat 10 AM–6 PM. Full thyroid panel with 15-minute in-house lab results. Call 0172 4120100 to book.
Is TSH enough to diagnose thyroid problems? +
TSH alone is often not enough. It is a screening test. A normal TSH does not rule out Hashimoto's thyroiditis, central hypothyroidism, or subclinical thyroid disease. At Gini, Dr. Bhansali always runs: TSH + Free T3 + Free T4 + Anti-TPO + Anti-TG as standard. TRAb is added when hyperthyroidism is suspected. Results in 15 minutes from our in-house lab.
What is Hashimoto's thyroiditis? +
Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition — the most common cause of hypothyroidism in India. The immune system attacks the thyroid. Diagnosis requires Anti-TPO and Anti-TG antibody testing — a standard TSH test alone will miss many cases. At Gini, antibody testing is included in the standard thyroid panel. Hashimoto's frequently co-exists with PCOS — both are diagnosed and treated simultaneously at Gini.
Can thyroid problems cause weight gain? +
Yes. Hypothyroidism slows metabolism, causing weight gain, fatigue, cold intolerance, and constipation. However, thyroid-related weight gain is typically 2–5 kg. Significant weight gain despite treated thyroid disease often means co-existing insulin resistance or PCOS. Dr. Bhansali assesses the full metabolic picture — not just the thyroid in isolation.
Does thyroid affect fertility? +
Yes — significantly. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause irregular cycles, anovulation, and miscarriage. Pregnancy TSH targets differ by trimester: first trimester target is <2.5 mIU/L. Undiagnosed thyroid disease is a common and overlooked cause of infertility. At Gini, Dr. Bhansali and Dr. Deepika Gupta jointly manage thyroid-fertility cases — from pre-conception planning through postpartum thyroiditis monitoring.
Can thyroid be confused with menopause? +
Yes. Fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, hair thinning, and mood changes are shared symptoms of both thyroid disease and menopause. Many women in Mohali are treated for one condition when they actually have both. At Gini, Dr. Bhansali and Dr. Deepika Gupta always test FSH + TSH + Free T4 together — so both conditions are correctly assessed from the first visit.
What is subclinical hypothyroidism? +
Subclinical hypothyroidism means TSH is elevated but Free T4 is normal. Whether to treat depends on TSH level, symptoms, age, pregnancy plans, and Anti-TPO antibody status. Anti-TPO positive patients are at higher risk of progression to overt hypothyroidism and require closer monitoring. Dr. Bhansali provides an individualised recommendation tailored to your specific situation.
