Doctor's answer:
Thyroiditis is a group of diseases that involve endocrine disorders or aseptic inflammation of the thyroid gland itself, caused by the dysfunction of the immune system of the thyroid gland, as well as various triggers such as stress, overwork, anger, emotional shock, viral infections, psychological trauma, and increased survival pressure. The clinical diagnosis of thyroiditis is diverse, categorized into acute suppurative thyroiditis, subacute thyroiditis, and chronic thyroiditis based on the speed of onset. It is recommended to visit an endocrinology department promptly for a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
