GlossaryThyroiditis

inflammation of thyroid gland affecting hormone production

Thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland, which can lead to either an overproduction or underproduction of thyroid hormones. This condition can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and hair loss, and it can be triggered by autoimmune diseases, infections, or certain medications. For professionals, it is important to note that thyroiditis can be classified into several types, including Hashimoto's thyroiditis, subacute thyroiditis, and postpartum thyroiditis, each with distinct etiologies and clinical presentations.
