About Parathyroid Disease

Parathyroid Disease is a condition that affects the parathyroid gland, which is located in the neck near the thyroid gland. It is a rare disease that can cause symptoms such as persistent high blood pressure, muscle weakness, and swelling in the face and neck. The exact cause of parathyroid disease is not known, but it is thought to be related to an overactive immune system. Treatment typically involves surgery to remove one or more of the parathyroid glands, along with the surrounding tissue. However, the success of the surgery and the potential risks and complications should be carefully considered by an experienced healthcare professional before any treatment is scheduled. If you are experiencing any symptoms of parathyroid disease, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible for proper diagnosis and treatment.
