Goiter: Causes, Risk Factors, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Greenlife Herbal Solutions
1. What's Goiter?
Goiter is a condition in which the thyroid gland grows larger. The thyroid gland is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the neck.
The thyroid gland produces the hormones thyroxine and triiodothyronine. These hormones play a role in certain bodily functions, including body temperature, mood and excitability, pulse rate, digestion and others.
2. Cause of Goiter
Goiters have different causes, depending on their type.
a. Simple Goiter develop when the thyroid gland does not make enough hormones to meet the body's needs. The thyroid tries to make up for this shortage by growing larger.
b. Endemic Goiters occur in people in certain part of the world who do not get enough iodine in their diet.
c. Sporadic Goiters , in most cases have no known cause. In some cases, certain drugs can cause this type of Goiter. For example, the drug lithium , which is used to treat certain mental health conditions, as well as other medical conditions, can cause this type of Goiter.
