Thyroid procedures are medical interventions aimed at diagnosing or treating conditions related to the thyroid gland. Common procedures include thyroid biopsies, which involve taking a small sample of thyroid tissue to check for abnormalities, and thyroidectomy, the surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland. Another common procedure is radioactive iodine therapy, used to treat conditions like hyperthyroidism or certain types of thyroid cancer. This treatment involves administering a radioactive form of iodine that targets and destroys overactive thyroid cells. These procedures help manage thyroid-related health issues effectively.
