Goitre is an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which is situated across the front of the neck just below the Adam's apple (larynx). The swelling of the gland may be only slight, or may be so great as almost to double the width of the neck. Goitre is commoner in women than in men.

Goitre can occur as a normal feature of puberty and pregnancy and is not caused by disease. However, goitre can be caused by a range of factors that may need medical attention.

Symptoms for Goitre

Goitre Symptoms

Often a goitre is a cosmetic problem only, although large swellings may press on the windpipe, causing some difficulty in breathing. A goitre may also compress the gullet (oesophagus), causing difficulty in swallowing.

Some goitres are smooth and even. Some contain firm nodules that can be felt.

Emotional upsets

Initial goitre symptom may be emotional upsets which gradually increase in duration.

Loss of concentration, irritability

Other goitre symptoms which appear subsequently are loss of power of concentration, irritability, and depression. The thyroid gland may swell but this has no relation to the severity of the ailment.

Causes for Goitre

Goitre Causes

One cause of goitre is iodine deficiency. The thyroid gland manufactures protein hormones, for which it needs iodine. If the diet doesn't contain enough iodine, the gland goes on trying to produce the hormones and increases its activity. The result is swelling. Iodine deficiency is almost unknown in Britain but occurs in other parts of the world.

Goitre occurs in the condition called Graves' disease, in which there is plenty of iodine but the gland is overactive. In this case, the enlargement is accompanied by excessive production of thyroid hormones. Other conditions causing goitre include:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis, caused by antibodies to thyroid hormone.
Sub-acute thyroiditis, which is probably a virus infection.
Dyshormonogenesis, a genetic enzyme deficiency that interferes with normal thyroid hormone synthesis.
Benign or malignant tumours of the thyroid gland.

Tumours of the thyroid gland are rare. In simple goitre, there is diffuse enlargement of the gland but no cause can be found.
