What Causes Thyroid Disease?
Hypothyroidism and HyperthyroidismThese are the two most common causes that affect Thyroid.
Hypothyroidism include:
- Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis: This is an autoimmune disease, where your body’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland. This results in inflammation and scarring of the gland. This condition can occur at any age, however it is most common in women between the ages of 30 and 50. This disease has a strong association with thyroid problems.
- Thyroiditis: This Condition leads to the swelling of thyroid gland.
- Postpartum Thyroiditis: This Condition is mainly seen in 5% to 9% Women after childbirth.
- Iodine deficiency: This is the most common cause of hypothyroidism. It occurs when there is a lack of iodine in your body. The thyroid gland requires iodine to function properly.
Hyperthyroidism include:
- Graves Disease : Graves Disease, which is the most common cause of Thyroid problems, is a condition where the thyroid gland produces an excess amount of thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism). The cause of this condition can be an overactive or overproducing thyroid gland (Graves Disease) or a blockage in the small blood vessels that supply the thyroid gland (Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis).
- Nodules: Nodules are lumps that form in your thyroid gland and they can be very small and hard or very large and soft. Sometimes these nodules are noncancerous and do not need to be removed.
- Excessive Iodine: When too much iodine gets into your body, it can lead to an overactive thyroid gland (also called Hyperthyroidism). In this case, the excess iodine binds to certain proteins in your thyroid gland and makes them inactive. This causes your thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism).

Using a small incision a tiny camera is inserted that allows the surgeon to see the area on a video screen, which is attached to a high-tech monitor. The camera and the monitor allow the surgeon to see everything that is needed to properly carry out the operation. Once the surgeon views the Thyroid on the video screen, the surgeon can detach the Thyroid gland from the trachea through a small incision. After the surgeon completes the surgery, a small tube is inserted through one of the small incisions, and drains are placed in the area, to catch any blood that might flow from the incision. At the end, the incision is closed.
This kind of surgery is extremely popular because it has a very low complication rate.
