Postpartum Thyroiditis

Postpartum thyroiditis occurs after pregnancy.

This hypothyroid condition affects about 5% of new moms. Often the problem will resolve itself without need for treatment. But in a number of cases treatment is necessary.

Hypothyroidism symptoms are so varied, they can be mistaken for many other conditions – in this case for postnatal depression or weight gain during the pregnancy.

Almost all new moms end their pregnancy with some excess weight and most suffer from a certain amount of tiredness. If these problems persist, check with your doctor.
