A member asked:
Can a person develop a hypothyroid after being strangled or chocked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: There is medical literature that supports development of hypothyroid after significant trauma. The current thought is that this is due to injury to the head rather than the thyroid itself, however, that has not been proven conclusively. Thus, transient direct trauma to the thyroid is not yet conclusively associated with an increased in thyroid disease.
