What is the difference between primary and secondary hypothyroidism.?
Primary hypothyroidism is caused by a deficiency in the thyroid itself. Secondary hypothyroidism is caused by an "outside" influence, usually a medication that causes the thyroid to not secrete the necessary hormones or an insufficient quantity, or may be caused by a primary disease process that in turn affects the thyroid gland. Sometimes secondary hypothyroidism is caused by the treatments for cancer, for example.
