MAJOR TRIGGERS OF HYPOTHYROIDISM AND HASHIMOTO’S

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, an autoimmune condition, can be triggered by various factors, including:

1. Genetics: Having a family history of autoimmune diseases, including Hashimoto’s, increases the risk.

2. Hormonal Changes: Such as pregnancy, puberty, or menopause, which can affect the immune system.

3. Stress: Chronic stress can weaken the immune system and contribute to autoimmune responses.

4. Environmental Factors: Exposure to certain chemicals, pollutants, or toxins may trigger Hashimoto’s in susceptible individuals.

5. Viral Infections: Some viral infections can trigger an autoimmune response, potentially leading to Hashimoto’s.

6. Iodine: Excessive iodine intake, especially in susceptible individuals, can trigger or exacerbate Hashimoto’s.

7. Other Autoimmune Conditions: Having another autoimmune disease increases the risk of developing Hashimoto’s.

It’s important to note that while these factors can increase the risk of developing Hashimoto’s, not everyone exposed to them will develop the condition. Additionally, the exact cause of Hashimoto’s remains unclear, and research is ongoing to understand its triggers and​⬤
