GOITER (Thyroid Gland Enlargement)

GOITER (Thyroid Gland Enlargement)

The term "goiter" is used to describe the condition of the thyroid gland swelling in the neck area. Specifically, it is a disease of the thyroid gland. This condition can also occur without visible swelling in the area. It seems to affect women more than men, especially those who don't have enough time to rest and find tranquility.

SYMPTOMS OF GOITER

Initial symptoms of goiter are usually short-lived and may pass unnoticed as minor emotional changes. Later on, other symptoms such as sadness, difficulty concentrating, and crying may appear, accompanied by emotional instability. Patients with this condition may easily become upset.

There may also be swelling of the neck gland, but its size does not necessarily indicate the severity of the problem, as a large problem may not always show visible swelling. These symptoms may be followed by excessive fatigue, trembling hands, and weakness in using any muscles in some patients. Bulging eyes may also occur in some cases.

Weight loss is one of the most noticeable symptoms in patients with this disease, and it may persist until the patient feels excessively weak.

CAUSES OF GOITER

The main cause of thyroid gland enlargement is the lack of iodine in the diet, and other emotional and physical factors can exacerbate the problem.

Another cause of goiter is the consumption of de-natured and uncooked foods, as well as excessive intake of processed and flavor-enhanced foods.
