Different Stages of Postpartum Thyroiditis
Postpartum Thyroiditis is a rare condition in which the thyroid gland enlarges in size after giving birth. The antibodies begin attacking the gland's cells in a manner reminiscent of an autoimmune disease. Although the causes are still unclear, the majority of women will only experience this temporarily.
It is divided in two phases -
➡️ First phase (hyperthyroid) - Women who experience a severe hormonal imbalance will experience an overactive thyroid gland. You might experience symptoms like
✔️ Weakness ✔️ Anxiety ✔️ Hair fall ✔️ Increased heartbeat ✔️ Weight loss
