The thyroid is an extremely important endocrine gland of the body, playing an essential role in metabolism and development. Any abnormality of the thyroid gland also has a significant impact on the patient.

Postpartum thyroiditis is a disease that occurs in about 5-7% of women after giving birth. Because it occurs in the early stages after giving birth, the signs of the disease are often overlooked or misunderstood as the mother being stressed while taking care of her young child. This causes patients to miss the opportunity to detect the disease early and treat it effectively.

Postpartum thyroiditis is a thyroid disorder in women. This is an inflammation of the thyroid gland that occurs in the first year after giving birth, when the thyroid gland had no signs of disease before. In fact, this disease is not rare but is easily confused with stress or postpartum mental disorders.
