Silent (Painless) Thyroiditis
What is Silent (Painless) Thyroiditis
In homeopathy, silent thyroiditis is seen as a mild, self-limiting inflammation of the thyroid without noticeable pain, often caused by an autoimmune imbalance or subtle triggers like stress or minor infections.
होम्योपैथी निम्नलिखित तरीके से काम करती है:
- Reducing inflammation naturally
- Supporting thyroid hormone regulation
- Improving energy, mood, and overall vitality
- Strengthening the constitutional susceptibility of the patient to prevent recurrences
Silent thyroiditis is a painless inflammation of the thyroid gland that causes temporary fluctuations in thyroid hormone levels, typically passing through hyperthyroid and hypothyroid phases.
Unlike De Quervain’s thyroiditis, there is no pain or tenderness.
कारण
- Autoimmune predisposition – presence of anti-thyroid antibodies
- Genetic susceptibility – family history of thyroid disorders
- Viral infections – mild, sometimes unnoticed
- Stress or sudden hormonal changes
- Can occur postpartum, but also in non-pregnant individuals
लक्षण
Hyperthyroid phase (initial, few weeks to months):
- Palpitations, rapid heartbeat
- Anxiety, irritability, restlessness
- Weight loss despite normal appetite
- Heat intolerance, sweating
Hypothyroid phase (following, few months):
- Fatigue, sluggishness
- Weight gain
- Cold intolerance
- बाल पतले होना, त्वचा शुष्क होना
- Mild depression or low mood
Other:
- Usually no neck pain or tenderness
- Symptoms may be subtle and easily missed
निदान
- Thyroid function tests (T3, T4, TSH) – identify hormone fluctuation phases
- Anti-thyroid antibodies – detect autoimmune involvement
- Ultrasound (USG) – shows mild thyroid inflammation
- Often diagnosed incidentally during routine blood tests
