There are many causes of hyperthyroidism, and many conclusions that may be made. Most people will notice that this condition seems to manifest out of nothing at all.
It has been shown that hyperthyroidism can develop in people that take certain drugs. After the birth of a child, women can develop this condition. Doctors are often at a loss when trying to figure out what has caused this to happen. It is hypothesized that a virus may cause hyperthyroidism to manifest. Hyperthyroidism is the focus of this article along with what may be the causative agent.
Perhaps you have heard stories of people having swelling in various parts of their body. There is a reason that this happens. Swelling in different areas of the body can occur for various reasons. Surplus thyroid hormones, for instance, are the cause of a swollen thyroid gland. If your thyroid gland is swollen, it is possible that once the hyperthyroidism is gone, the swelling will diminish. Sometimes, a thyroid gland that begins to enlarge, it may not be a simple issue at all. Setting an appointment with your doctor can help you determine whether or not the condition is dangerous. Oftentimes, your doctor will have you do some blood work to make sure that everything is okay. Hyperthyroidism is a very statistically based diagnosis that is usually data based in its origin. Graves' disease is typically what people have with this condition. Over 95% of those with hyperthyroidism have this ailment. And the 5% that remain usually have a thyroid gland within nodule on it. People with this particular condition have what are called hot nodules on their thyroid. For unknown reasons, people can also get thyroid inflammation; this is a difficult situation for those involved. Despite the difference, this hyperthyroid condition is still very similar.
Perhaps you have heard of the condition that was called goiters years ago. Goiters refer to thyroiditis which is an enlarged thyroid due to inflammation for some reason. It is the task of your doctor to figure out why the swelling is happening. But, goiters does not necessarily mean you will have hyperthyroidism. The reason for that is not all goiter conditions result in the production of excessive amounts of thyroid hormones, T3 and T4. So if you suddenly notice that you do have goiters, that is no reason to panic. The obvious thing you must do is get an accurate diagnosis from your doctor.
What causes hyperthyroidism is not limited to just a few conditions; a variety of things can cause this to happen. Sometimes it will simply appear for no reason, such as with postpartum thyroiditis to name just one. Women are the primary candidates (one in every 20) for this condition, though it will manifest at different times. About seven or eight months after a child is born, mothers of newborns will develop symptoms of postpartum thyroiditis. The scope of this particular condition cannot be discussed in an article this size. Any doctor will be able to help you understand this disorder in much greater detail.
Without a doubt, your family doctor can tell you more about this condition than any article can.
