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. Could you please tell me what postpartum thyroiditis is?Doctor's answer:
This requires a careful check to determine whether it is subacute thyroiditis or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In terms of symptom presentation, subacute thyroiditis may again present with pain in the neck thyroid area. Therefore, it is recommended that you visit a local reputable hospital and make an appointment with the endocrinology department for a follow-up. First, clearly describe your symptoms to the attending physician, and then undergo tests such as thyroid function, iodine uptake rate, thyroid ultrasound, etc. The purpose is to differentiate and diagnose the type of thyroiditis mentioned earlier. Based on the different test results, additional treatment can be provided.
