Types of Thyroiditis - a podcast by Doctor Bug

Thyroiditis is swelling (inflammation) of the thyroid gland. It causes either unusually high or low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the neck. It produces hormones that control the body's growth and metabolism.

These hormones affect processes such as heart rate and body temperature and convert food into energy to keep the body going.
