Could Your Symptoms Be A Result Of Postpartum Thyroiditis?

Have you recently given birth? Are you noticing that after giving birth, you are feeling unusually tired, depressed, and are having a difficult time losing the baby weight?

Perhaps you are attributing these symptoms to your pregnancy and postpartum hormonal imbalances. While this may be the case, it's also very possible that you may be experiencing postpartum thyroiditis.

The exact reason for your thyroid to become overactive or underactive after pregnancy is unknown. However, if you had type one diabetes, gestational diabetes, or have a personal or family history of autoimmune disease, you have a much higher chance of developing thyroid dysfunction. If you were deficient in certain nutrients, vitamins, and minerals prior to your pregnancy, or became deficient during your pregnancy, you're also at a much greater risk. 

 The good news is, your thyroid really can go back to normal after several months, but it must be monitored and supported. A diagnosis must be made sooner rather than later. Testing thyroid levels such as your TSA, T3 or T4, the antibodies, and the other markers related to the thyroid is imperative. If you feel like something is going on in your body and you might have a thyroid imbalance, don’t wait until your symptoms become worse and permanent damage has set in.  

I know firsthand what happens when you ignore your symptoms. In my case, I was put on medication that was supposed to manage the symptoms, but it never fixed the problem. This is the exact reason I do what I do today. I want you to know there is a solution and I would be happy to guide you along this journey.
