Hashimoto’s thyroiditis

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition that affects the thyroid gland, a key part of the endocrine system. The thyroid produces hormones that help regulate many vital functions, including metabolism, energy levels and growth. When Hashimoto’s thyroiditis impairs thyroid function, you may notice symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain or sensitivity to cold.
