Thyroid disease - Iatrogenic hypothyroidism

Thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands found in the neck, below the Adam’s Apple with the function of regulating the body use of energy, make of proteins by producing its hormones as a result of the stimulation of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) produced by the anterior pituitary.
Thyroid disease is defined as a condition of malfunction of thyroid. Hyperthyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is over active and produces too much thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the thyroid gland is under active and produces very little thyroid hormones. Thyroid cancer is defined as condition in which the cells in the thyroid gland have become cancerous.
Iatrogenic hypothyroidism is defined as a condition of hypothyroidism as a result of treatments of over active thyroid, cancer, inflammation of the thyroid, etc., such as ablation (killing) with radioactive iodine, antithyroid medication, surgery to treat nodules, thyroid cancer, or an overactive thyroid gland, according to the Dr. Susan Wingo(1).
