Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disorder, occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland, leading to inflammation and eventual damage. This results in an underactive thyroid, known as hypothyroidism. Common symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and depression.

Understanding Hashimoto's Thyroiditis: Causes, Symptoms, and Diagnosis

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks your thyroid gland. This onslaught leads to inflammation and disrupts the thyroid's ability to produce hormones essential for regulating metabolism and other bodily functions. As a result, you may experience various symptoms, such as fatigue, weight gain, sensitivity to cold, dry skin, and muscle weakness.

Dr. Sultan M.D. employs a thorough diagnostic approach to identify Hashimoto's Thyroiditis in St. Louis, MO. He listens attentively to your symptoms, as they often provide crucial clues, and conducts a physical examination, feeling for any enlargement or tenderness in your thyroid gland.
