7. Radiation-Induced Thyroiditis
Thyroiditis may develop in people who receive radiation therapy to treat head and neck cancers. It may also affect those whose hyperthyroidism is treated with radioactive iodine. This condition can develop years after treatments have been completed.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism may result from these treatments. Hyperthyroid symptoms usually subside, but hypothyroid symptoms are sometimes permanent, requiring thyroid hormone replacement treatment to maintain adequate levels of thyroid hormone levels in the body.2‘Thyroiditis.’ American Thyroid Association, www.thyroid.org/thyroiditis/.,6Staff, Familydoctor.org Editorial. ‘Thyroiditis - Symptoms and Treatment.’ Familydoctor.org, 15 Oct. 2019, familydoctor.org/condition/thyroiditis/.
