CAUSES OF HYPOTHYROIDISM
The most common cause of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s disease. This is an autoimmune disorder in which the body attacks the thyroid gland. I want you to be sure to note here that Hashiβs and hypothyroidism are not the same thing! Hypo is a problem with your thyroid gland and Hashimotoβs is a problem with your immune system.
Other Causes of Hypothyroidism
a problem with the pituitary gland, temporary inflammation of the thyroid or medications that affect thyroid function.
