Thyroiditis - what does this mean

Thyroiditis is an inflammatory condition of the thyroid gland caused by an autoimmune response or viral infection. it can cause the thyroid to become overactive or underactive, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and difficulty concentrating.

What happens during the disease - thyroiditis

Thyroiditis is an inflammatory disorder of the thyroid gland caused by an autoimmune response. it is characterized by the production of antibodies that attack the thyroid gland, resulting in the destruction of thyroid cells and the release of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. this can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, hair loss, and difficulty in concentrating. in some cases, it can also cause an enlargement of the thyroid gland, known as a goiter. treatment typically involves the use of medications to reduce the inflammation and to restore the normal production of thyroid hormones.
