Post-radiation thyroiditis is a condition in which the thyroid gland becomes inflamed or damaged after radiation therapy.<\/em>
This usually happens when a person receives radiation to the neck or upper chest \u2014 for example, during treatment for cancers of the throat, lymph nodes, or breast \u2014 or after radioactive iodine therapy used for hyperthyroidism.<\/em><\/p>

The thyroid gland is quite sensitive to radiation. So, when it gets exposed, the cells of the gland can get inflamed or destroyed, leading to temporary or permanent thyroid dysfunction \u2014 either hyperthyroidism (overactive phase) or hypothyroidism (underactive phase).<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1. External Beam Radiation:<\/p>

  • Used in cancers of neck, head, larynx, or breast.<\/li>
  • Damages thyroid cells and reduces hormone production.<\/li><\/ul>

    2. Radioactive Iodine Therapy (RAI):<\/p>

    • Given for treating overactive thyroid (Graves\u2019 disease or toxic nodules).<\/li>
    • Can cause inflammation and eventual destruction of thyroid tissue.<\/li><\/ul>

      3. Accidental or occupational radiation exposure:<\/p>

      • Very rare, but prolonged exposure can also affect thyroid tissue.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Radiation leads to inflammation in the thyroid tissue (thyroiditis).<\/em>
        Initially, the damaged cells release stored thyroid hormones \u2192 causing temporary hyperthyroidism (thyrotoxicosis).<\/em>
        Later, when the gland becomes fibrosed or scarred, it loses its ability to produce hormones \u2192 leading to hypothyroidism.<\/em><\/p>

        So, it\u2019s often a biphasic condition:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
