What is Hashimoto Thyroiditis?

Hashimoto thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system attacks its own thyroid gland. Thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland that controls the body's metabolism, energy levels and many other important activities. Due to this disease, there is swelling in the thyroid, due to which its function starts slowing down. Over time this can cause hypothyroidism, in which thyroid hormone production is reduced.

What is the treatment for this disease?

Although there is no complete cure for Hashimoto thyroiditis, its symptoms can be controlled. The most common way to treat this disease is to take thyroid hormone replacement medication. This medicine compensates for the lack of hormones in the body, which increases energy levels, keeps weight under control and reduces the body's sensitivity to cold.
