What are Goiters?
Goiters can be anyone of several types of growths in the thyroid gland,located ay the base of the front side of the neck just below the adams apple.
In the case of Grave's disease,the entire thyroid gland becomes enlarged.
Another type,called toxic nodular goiter,results when one or more nodules,or adenomas,develop in the thyroid and trigger excess production of thyroid hormone.
In short,a goiter is any enlargement of the thyroid gland.A goiter maybe a temporary problem that will remedy itself overtime without medical intervention,or a symptom of another,possibly severe thyroid condition that requires medical attention.
What cause a Goiter?
Goiters can occur when the thyroid gland produces either too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism) or not enough (hpothyroidism.Much more rarely,the problem may arise when the pituitary gland stimulates thyroid growth to boost production of the hormone.
Another type of thyroid growth called a sporadic goiter,can form if your diet includeshealthiswealth
er-promoting foods,such as soybeans,rutabagas,cabbage,peaches,peanuts and spinach.Keep in mind you would have to eat huge amounts of these foods to cause a goiter.These foods can suppress the manufacture of thyroid hormone by interfering with your thyroid's abillity to process iodide.Historically the most common cause used to be a lack of iodide in the diet,however in the 1920s iodized salt was introduced in the U.S.now making this a rare cause of goiters.Iodine is added to other foods as well.
Symptoms
The main symptoms is an enlarged thyroid gland.The size may range from a single small nodule to a large neck lump.Some people with a simple goitet may have symptoms of an underactive thyroid gland.In rare cases,an enlarged thyroid can put pressure on the windpipe (trachea) and food tube (esophagus).
These can lead too:
Breathing difficulties (with very large goiters) especially when lying on the back.
Cough
Hoarseness
Swallowing difficulties,especially with solid food.
Treatment
A goiter only needs to be treated if it is causing symptoms.Treatment for an enlarge thyroid include:
Thyroid hormone replacement pills if the goiter is due to an underactive thyroid.
Small doses of Logul's iodine or potassium iodine solution if the goiter is due to a lack of iodine.
Radioactive iodine to shrink the gland,especially if the thyroid is producing too much thyroid hormone.
