Postpartum thyroiditis - what does this mean

Postpartum thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder caused by the presence of autoantibodies that attack the thyroid gland, resulting in inflammation and disruption of thyroid hormone production. this leads to a period of hyperthyroidism, followed by a period of hypothyroidism, and then a return to normal thyroid function. risk factors for postpartum thyroiditis include a history of thyroid disease, autoimmune disease, or a family history of thyroid disease.
