Thyroiditis is a condition that involves inflammation of the thyroid gland, which can affect hormone levels and lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weight changes, or mood fluctuations. It affects thousands of people in the UK, and while symptoms of thyroiditis can vary, many people successfully manage the condition through medication or ongoing care.
A diagnosis doesn’t necessarily mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with thyroiditis continue to travel safely and enjoy holidays abroad.
Why it’s worth having travel insurance if you have thyroiditis:
- Emergency medical treatment and hospital care abroad
- Medical transport or repatriation back to the UK if required
- Cancellation cover if you are unable to travel due to your condition
- 24-hour medical assistance while you are abroad
Travel advice for people with thyroiditis
- Keep medication and any monitoring equipment easily accessible
- Maintain regular eating and medication routines while travelling
- Check that you have enough supplies for the duration of your trip
- Seek medical advice before travelling if symptoms have recently changed
If you have been diagnosed with thyroiditis, you might need to declare it when applying for travel insurance. Take care to read the medical declaration fully, so the details you give about your thyroiditis are complete.
You can still find suitable travel insurance if you have thyroiditis. Options vary with the nature of the condition and how well it is controlled, so give clear and accurate information when you complete the medical declaration.
