Overview

Silent thyroiditis, more specifically and scientifically as subacute lymphocytic thyroiditis, is a member of the group of thyroiditis conditions known as resolving thyroiditis, which includes a very similar condition to silent thyroiditis, postpartum thyroiditis.

Silent thyroiditis is swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland, in which the person alternates between hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.
