Chronic Thyroiditis (Hashimoto Disease)
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic thyroiditis, also called Hashimoto disease, is a prolonged inflammation of the thyroid gland of autoimmune origin, in which one's own defense system acts against the thyroid and gradually alters its functioning.
Frequent symptoms: It may be accompanied by tiredness, weight gain, a sensation of cold, dry skin, and, in some stages, inflammation in the front part of the neck.
When to see a doctor? When these symptoms persist over time, or when thyroid abnormalities are detected in routine tests, it is advisable to look into it further.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on thyroid function; the general practitioner can also guide the initial evaluation.
