What is Hashimoto's Thyroiditis?

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks your thyroid gland, interrupting thyroid hormone production. Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid.

Working with an experienced thyroid specialist is vital to correct the thyroid dysfunction and bring back balance to your hormones.

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Symptoms

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis can affect your body in various ways and range from mild to severe symptoms, depending on your case. If you are dealing with any of the following symptoms, it's essential not to brush them off, even if they are mild.

Our thyroid professionals will work with you to uncover the cause behind your symptoms and provide a safe and effective healing path.

  • weight gain despite no change in your diet
  • unexplained fatigue
  • hair loss
  • brain fog and memory issues
  • low libido
  • brittle, chipping nails
  • feeling cold when nobody else does
  • constipation and bloating
  • frequent urination and excessive thirst
  • pale and dry skin
  • puffy face, eyes, and belly

  • joint pain with stiffness and swelling
  • heavy or irregular periods

In addition to the above symptoms, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis may cause your thyroid gland to swell, causing uncomfortable tightness in your throat. As the disease progresses, a goiter can form due to the lack of thyroid hormones produced. This metabolic imbalance may cause:

  • Infertility
  • Pregnancy complications
  • Heart disorders
  • Depression
  • Cancer
  • myxedema - hypothyroidism so extreme it can lead to coma or death.
