Fluctuating thyroid levels post delivery!

Hello, I am suffering from fluctuating thyroid levels post delivery. I am 27 years old. What should I do? How to resolve this? Is it curable or not? Please provide me some useful inputs.

@tanisha You may be having postpartum thyroiditis. It often presents with initial hyperthyroidism and then hypothyroid state. It is to be managed symptomatically. Most of the women regain the normal euthyroid status within 12 to 18 months of the presentation however about 20% will remain hypothyroid forever. You should consult endocrinologist for final diagnosis and management.
