Causes of Hypothyroidism
This is usually “Autoimmune” whereby the body’s immune system mistakes the thyroid gland for a “virus” and sends in cells to remove the virus: over time this leads to scarring of the thyroid and renders it underactive.
After pregnancy a “thyroiditis” triggered by a spike in antibody levels can cause a temporary or permanent underactive thyroid
A “thyroiditis” can follow a viral infection and cause a temporary or permanent underactive thyroid.
Rarer causes are congenital (from birth), previous neck radiation, previous surgery or over-treatment of an overactive thyroid
