Hypothyroid: This could occur if you had been previously treated for hyperthyroidism with surgery, radioactive iodine or antithyroid medications or if you had acute thyroiditis. In these circumstances an underactive thyroid status can ensue and thyroid supplement is needed. An endocrinologist or thyroidologist is best qualified to evaluate, advise and treat you.
