Post-partum thyroiditis is a thyroid inflammation occurring within a year after childbirth, caused by the immune system attacking the thyroid. It has two stages: hyperthyroidism, marked by symptoms like anxiety and weight loss, followed by hypothyroidism, featuring fatigue and weight gain. Typically resolves in 12-18 months, but may lead to chronic conditions.
