==Causes==
There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism.
<div style="-webkit-user-select: none;">
===Common Causes===
Historically and, still, in many developing countries [[iodine deficiency]] is the most common cause of hypothyroidism world-wide. In present day developed countries, however, hypothyroidism is mostly caused by [[Hashimoto's thyroiditis]], or by a lack of the [[thyroid]] gland or a deficiency of hormones from either the hypothalamus or the pituitary.


===Less Common Causes===
The most common cause of hypothyroidism is thyroiditis. Swelling and inflammation damage the thyroid gland's cells.
*Hypothyroidism can result from postpartum [[thyroiditis]], a condition that affects about 5% of all women within a year after giving birth.  The first phase is typically hyperthyroidism. Then, the thyroid either returns to normal or a woman develops hypothyroidism.  Of those women who experience hypothyroidism associated with postpartum thyroiditis, one in five will develop permanent hypothyroidism requiring life-long treatment.  


*Hypothyroidism can also result from sporadic inheritance, sometimes [[autosome|autosomal]] recessive.
Causes of this problem include:
* The immune system attacking the thyroid gland
* Viral infections (common cold) or other respiratory infections
* Pregnancy (often called postpartum thyroiditis)
Other causes of hypothyroidism include:
* Certain medicines, such as lithium and amiodarone
* Congenital (birth) defects
* Radiation treatments to the neck or brain to treat different cancers
* Radioactive iodine used to treat an overactive thyroid gland
* Surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland
* Sheehan syndrome, a condition that may occur in a woman who bleeds severely during pregnancy or childbirth and causes the destruction of the pituitary gland
* Pituitary tumor or pituitary surgery


*Temporary hypothyroidism can be due to the [[Wolff-Chaikoff effect]].
===Life Threatening Causes===
*[[Aneurysm]]
*[[Subarachnoid hemorrhage]]
*[[Craniopharyngioma]]
*[[Glioma]]
*[[Hypomelia ]]
*[[Meningioma]]
*[[Metastasis]]
*[[Neoplastic]]
*[[Pituitary adenoma]]
*[[Pituitary apoplexy]]
*[[Pituitary cancer ]]
*[[Syphilis]]
===Common Causes===
*[[Iodine deficiency]]
*[[Hashimoto's thyroiditis]]
*[[Thyroid hormone resistance ]]
*[[Thyroid stimulating hormone deficiency]]
*[[Trh deficiency]]
*[[Tsh deficiency]]

Overview

Causes

The most common cause of hypothyroidism is thyroiditis. Swelling and inflammation damage the thyroid gland's cells.

Causes of this problem include:

  • The immune system attacking the thyroid gland
  • Viral infections (common cold) or other respiratory infections
  • Pregnancy (often called postpartum thyroiditis)

Other causes of hypothyroidism include:

  • Certain medicines, such as lithium and amiodarone
  • Congenital (birth) defects
  • Radiation treatments to the neck or brain to treat different cancers
  • Radioactive iodine used to treat an overactive thyroid gland
  • Surgical removal of part or all of the thyroid gland
  • Sheehan syndrome, a condition that may occur in a woman who bleeds severely during pregnancy or childbirth and causes the destruction of the pituitary gland
  • Pituitary tumor or pituitary surgery
