In endocrinology, thyroid thyroiditis is positioned as inflammation of the tissues of the gland, untimely treatment, which leads not only to damage to its follicles, but also to serious complications. Depending on the course, this disease can develop in three forms: 

• acute, in which inflammation spreads to the entire surface of the thyroid gland after viral infections, and may have a purulent character;
• subacute develops almost in the same way as acute thyroiditis of the thyroid gland, but the resolution of the gland tissue is faster and more painful;
• chronic (autoimmune form of thyroiditis), which is characterized by a strong increase in tissue in the thyroid gland, which leads to compression in the neck.

The chronic form of the disease can manifest itself in three forms:

• latent, when the thyroid gland is enlarged, but at the same time its functions are not impaired;
• hypertrophic when an increase in goiter is observed;
• atrophic, in which the antibodies formed in the body begin to destroy the cells of the thyroid gland, which leads to its inflammation.

The main reasons for the manifestation of a group of thyroiditis

Almost all forms of thyroiditis of the thyroid gland occur after acute and chronic infections, as well as against such factors as:

• various mechanical injuries;
• radiation exposure;
