Parathyroid Hyperplasia Treatment in India

Rohan Williams, a 58-year-old high school history teacher, had always been active and health-conscious. Over the past year, he'd become increasingly fatigued, struggling to get through his teaching day. He developed persistent bone pain in his hips and lower back, which he initially attributed to aging. A routine blood test ordered by his primary doctor revealed significantly elevated calcium levels. Further investigation by his endocrinologist, Dr. Chen, diagnosed him with primary hyperparathyroidism caused by parathyroid hyperplasia. Dr. Chen explained that all four of Rohan's parathyroid glands were enlarged and overactive, leaching calcium from his bones and causing his symptoms. She recommended a subtotal parathyroidectomy, removing 3.5 glands to restore balance. The surgery was performed under general anesthesia. The first 24 hours were uncomfortable, with a sore throat and neck stiffness, but his calcium levels were monitored closely to prevent a dangerous drop. Within a week, his bone pain began to subside dramatically. At his six-week follow-up, his energy had returned, and his calcium levels were normal. Emotionally, Rohan had been anxious about the surgery and frustrated by his unexplained decline. Post-recovery, he felt profound relief and gratitude, regaining his ability to engage fully with his students and his passion for hiking.
