How long did Hashimoto's turn into hypothyroidism?

Patient's question:

My thyroid was carefully checked and found to have problems last year. The doctor said it was Hashimoto's disease. How long does Hashimoto's turn into hypothyroidism?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it doesn't necessarily mean that you will definitely develop hypothyroidism. Generally, after being diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, some of your antibodies will show a significant increase. However, if your recovery is not thorough and the antibodies remain at a high level, it may lead to hypothyroidism again in the future. But this process will take a longer time.
