Hashimoto's Disease

What is Hashimoto’s Disease?

Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune condition that causes hypothyroidism, affects the thyroid gland's ability to produce sufficient thyroid hormones. This gland in the neck regulates metabolism and impacts various bodily functions. Named after Dr. Hakaru Hashimoto, who identified it in 1912, this chronic condition necessitates lifelong management and treatment, emphasizing the significance of understanding its symptoms and seeking medical guidance.
