What causes thyroiditis

summary

We think that the cause of thyroiditis is the result of the interaction of genetic factors and a variety of internal and external environmental factors. We often find that the same family has several generations of the disease. HLA gene partly determines genetic susceptibility, but this effect is not very strong, and there are some differences between different populations. What else is the cause of our thyroiditis? Let me share it with you

What causes thyroiditis

First: there may be genetic factors, the occurrence of thyroiditis is always bad for your health, so if it is obviously not right, you'd better go to the hospital for examination.

Second: during pregnancy, pregnant women are in a relatively low state of immune function. After childbirth, the immunosuppression disappears and the immune response suddenly increases. Other autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis and so on, are also alleviated after childbirth.

Third: the cause of thyroiditis is not clear, but thyroiditis is a high incidence of autoimmune disease. Many people have temporary thyrotoxicosis or hypothyroidism, and then they will relieve themselves. There are few cases of persistent hypothyroidism.

matters needing attention

It should be noted that surgical treatment is not appropriate, unless accompanied by thyroid tumor, or very few patients whose pain can not be relieved for a long time, they need to remove the diseased thyroid.
