Autoimmune Thyroiditis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Autoimmune thyroiditis is an inflammation of the thyroid gland caused by one's own immune system, which mistakenly attacks this organ and gradually alters its functioning.
Frequent symptoms: It can manifest with tiredness, sensitivity to cold, weight changes, dry skin, or mood changes; at times it progresses without evident discomfort for a while.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to consult when these symptoms appear in a sustained way or if enlargement in the neck is detected.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist, and in minors the pediatric endocrinologist, are the ones who study thyroid function, drawing on clinical tests. A professional evaluation makes it possible to understand the particular case and provide appropriate follow-up for thyroid health.
