I have recently been diagnosised with hypothyroidism four months after the birth of my baby. I have a goiter. A couple of weeks ago I had a high fever then noticed swelling on my lower neck and shoulder area, golf ball size and soft no nodules. Any ideas? :?:

 Hello,
The association between thyroid gland dysfunction and pregnancy is commonly addressed.
The awareness of the disturbance in the thyroid function post-partum is increasing. It is commonly seen due to an autoimmune thyroid disease (4 to 7% of post-partum mothers).
Transient post-partum hypothyroidism is reported and occur three to eight months post-partum.
Undiagnosed thyroid problem may also worsen during pregnancy.
Consideration should be taken for proper management and to avoid complications.
Follow up with your doctor is essential
Best regards.
