Overview
Postpartum thyroid dysfunction also known as postpartum thyroid dysfunction syndrome, is characterized by abnormal functioning of the thyroid gland after child birth. Postpartum thyroid dysfunction can either be a pre-existent thyroid disease that becomes clinically significant during postpartum duration or it may appear as a new dysfunction. Postpartum thyroid dysfunction may present as Grave's disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis or silent thyroiditis. Postpartum thyroid dysfunction most commonly presents as hyperthyroidism followed by hypothyroidism. The hyperthyroidism phase may be non symptomatic or patients may experience palpitations. The hypothyroidism phase is usually severe. Postpartum thyroid dysfunction may also present as exclusive hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
