Thyroid Tests in Limón: What They Are and When to Do Them

Take Care of Your Hormonal Health with Bioclinic

The thyroid is a small gland located in the front of the neck. It regulates your metabolism, energy levels, and hormonal balance. When it doesn’t work properly, it can cause hypothyroidism (low hormone production) or hyperthyroidism (excessive hormone production). Detecting thyroid problems early helps prevent complications such as fatigue, weight gain, mood changes, and even heart issues.

At Laboratorio Clínico Bioclinic, with branches in Puerto Viejo and Limón Centro, we perform the main thyroid tests, included in our Thyroid Hormone Control Package.

When Should You Get a Thyroid Test?

We recommend getting tested if you experience:

• Constant tiredness or excessive sleepiness
• Unexplained weight gain
• Sensitivity to cold, dry skin, or brittle hair
• Hoarseness or swelling in the neck

You should also consider testing if:

• You have a family history of thyroid disorders
• You are pregnant or in menopause
• You have high cholesterol or unexplained anemia

You can include this test as part of a general health check-up through our Health Check-Up Packages — ideal for preventive care.

What Does the Thyroid Test Include?

Our Thyroid Hormone Control Package measures:

• TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone)
• Free T4 and Free T3, which reflect how your thyroid functions
• In some cases, thyroid antibodies to detect autoimmune diseases

These tests allow early detection of an overactive or underactive thyroid. At Bioclinic, we ensure accurate results, professional service, and convenient access without leaving Limón province.
