Graves’ disease is an autoimmune condition. This meaning that the body’s immune system mistakes healthy cells for foreign invaders and attacks them. It is the most common autoimmune disorder in the United States.

A number of conditions can cause hyperthyroidism, but Graves’ disease is the most common, affecting around 1 in 200 people. It most often affects women under the age of 40, but it is also found in men. Graves’ disease was originally known as “exophthalmic goiter” but is now named after Sir Robert Graves, an Irish doctor who first described the condition in 1835.

Symptoms can include:

  • increased sweating
  • weight loss (without change in diet)
  • nervousness
  • hand tremors
  • changes in menstrual cycle
  • erectile dysfunction and reduced libido
