The Difference Between Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto's
It’s not the same thing! 🙅🏻♀️
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) is when your thyroid doesn't make enough thyroid hormone for your body’s needs.
Hypothyroidism is caused by many things and the most common reason in the U.S. for hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s disease.
Hashimoto’s disease is an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks and damages your thyroid.
Over time, the damage done to your thyroid can cause hypothyroidism, but not everyone who has Hashimoto’s will develop hypothyroidism.
Just to recap:
👉🏼hypothyroidism: lots of causes
👉🏼Hashimoto’s ➡️ one cause of hypothyroidism
👉🏼 Hashimoto’s➡️ not everyone who has it, develops hypothyroidism
Some are able to catch Hashimoto’s early and prevent permanent damage to their thyroid.
Hopefully, that is your goal too.
Unfortunately, many women are told to “wait & see” during this crucial time. What your doctors are really waiting to see is enough damage to your thyroid that it starts showing up in your labs as hypothyroidism.
I don’t think that’s what they really want to see, but that’s just when they know what to do & how to treat it.
So don’t delay in taking action!
