Patients with this syndrome usually have no prior history of thyroid disease. Mild hyperthyroidism is noted one to three months after an uncomplicated delivery and is followed by a brief euthyroid period. Symptomatic hypothyroidism develops three to six months postpartum. The syndrome is self-limited. The hypothyroidism is treated in the usual manner with levothyroxine. This syndrome may be confused with postpartum depression.
患有这种综合征的患者通常既往无甲状腺疾病史。在顺产无并发症后1至3个月会出现轻度甲状腺功能亢进，随后是短暂的甲状腺功能正常期。产后3至6个月会出现有症状的甲状腺功能减退。该综合征为自限性。甲状腺功能减退通常用左甲状腺素进行治疗。这种综合征可能与产后抑郁症相混淆。
