Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What should I do about postpartum thyroiditis?Doctor's answer:
Your wife developed this thyroiditis after giving birth, which is an autoimmune disease. The main symptom is localized pain. Currently, there is no effective treatment for it. If the pain is severe, you can take some blood-activating medications. It's also important to get her thyroid function checked by a hospital early on. Thyroiditis can easily lead to thyroid dysfunction, and in such cases, medication treatment is necessary.
