Here is my version of the article about thyroiditis Under acute or sub-acute inflammation of the thyroid gland:
Acute thyroiditis (granulomatosis or De Quervaney's disease) is an inflammatory disease of the thyroid gland, which manifests itself in the form of its enlargement and dysfunction. The disease can occur in acute or subacute form, with acute thyroiditis having more pronounced symptoms.
The causes of subacute thyroiditis, also known as granulomatosis or De Quervny's disease, are not clearly established. However, there are various theories suggesting that this disease may be due to infection, autoimmune reactions, allergic reactions or other factors.
One of the most common symptoms of acute thyroiditis is an enlarged thyroid gland. The thyroid gland becomes denser and more painful, and its volume can increase up to 3-4 times. In addition, there is a feeling of heat and tremor in the neck. An enlarged thyroid gland can occur against a background of fever, chills, or neck pain. In some cases, there are complaints of chest discomfort, dry cough and shortness of breath.
Another symptom of acute granulomatous thyroiditis may be a dysfunction of the thyroid gland - hypothyroidism. When this occurs, levels of thyroid hormone (thyroxine) may be reduced, causing growth retardation, slow metabolism, fatigue and other symptoms.
If you suspect acute thyroiditis, it is important to consult an endocrinologist. He will conduct an examination, including an ultrasound of the thyroid gland and a biopsy.
Thyroiditis Subacute (TP) (from the ancient Greek “χολή” (needles), meaning inflammation of the thyroid gland, and ρίζημα (glandula thymus) - from the ancient Greek word “φάρμακον”, which means medicine or “πνευμόνα” - from the ancient Greek spirit ,breathing, blowing, μονάς - lonely, Μόλος - hush up, mask, cover up, deny) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by prolonged inflammation of the thyroid gland and at the same time its nodular thickening. It is extremely rare, its frequency does not exceed 1 in 2500 people. The disease most often develops in males aged 20 to 40 years. In the article we will talk about the nuances of the disease, the principles of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of thyroiditis.
Subacute thyroiditis The main causes of the disease: • Overstrain of the immune system due to chronic stress; • Chronic
