Prevention Goiter Definition A goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland that is NOT associated with inflammation or cancer Causes There are different kinds of goiters. A simple goiter usually occurs when the thyroid gland is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's requirements. The thyroid gland compensates by enlarging, which usually overcomes mild deficiencies of thyroid hormone. A simple goiter may be classified as either an endemic (colloid) goiter or a sporadic (nontoxic) goiter. Endemic goiters occur within groups of people living in geographical areas with iodine-depleted soil, usually regions away from the sea coast. People in these communities might not get enough iodine in their diet. (Iodine is vital to the formation of thyroid hormone.) The modern use of iodized table salt in the U.S. prevents this deficiency; however, it is still common in central Asia and central Africa. In most cases of sporadic goiter the cause is unknown. Occasionally, certain medications such as lithium or aminoglutethimide can cause a nontoxic goiter.

Thyroid Goiter Noduler Disease Alternative Treatment – after using Vitacel natural health supplement. NATURAL THYROID GOITER NODULE HEALING TESTIMONIAL August 2, 1983 I started taking Vitacel GH3 last November, 1982. I had Thyroid Goiter nodular disease symptoms and treatment for seven years. The goiter nodule was very noticeable, about the size of an egg. I quit going to doctors because they wanted to to do goiter removal surgery. After taking Vitacel GH3 for a couple of months, I noticed one day that the goiter nodule was completely gone. I couldn’t believe it! I didn’t have that huge noduler bump on my neck anymore. I also have had trouble with migraine headaches and hypoglycemia. Both have subsided a lot since taking the Vitacel GH3. CAROL DeROSIER 8922- 11th Place S.E.

Add to Favorites General Encyclopedia Legal ... Law forum Search Word: Visit our Law forums Labor Law Accidents Law Bankruptcy Law Business Law ... Tax Law A goitre (or goiter) ( Latin struma ) is a swelling in the neck due to an enlarged thyroid gland . The most common cause for goitre in the world is iodine deficiency. Other causes are: Hashimoto's thyroiditis Graves-Basedow disease juvenile goitre neoplasm of the thyroid thyroiditis (acute, chronic) side-effects of pharmacological therapy Iodine is necessary for the synthesis of the thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine and thyroxine (T3 and T4). When iodine is not available these hormones cannot be made. In response to low thyroid hormones, the pituitary gland releases thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). Thyroid stimulating hormone acts to try and increase synthesis of T3 and T4, but also causes the thyroid gland to grow in size as a type of compensation. Goitre was previously common in many areas that were deficient in iodine in the soil . The condition now is practically absent in affluent nations, where table salt is supplemented with iodine.

What is Grave's Disease (GD)? Who gets GD? GD in Chilhood/Pregnancy Symptoms ... About Me Goiter Goiter refers to an enlarged thyroid gland. It can occur in both hypothyroidism, as thyroid cells enlarge in their efforts to trap more iodine, and in hyperthyroid as thyroid cells elongate and swell due to to their vigourous assembly line production of thyroid hormone. There are approximately 25 different types of goiter, depending on the type of pattern created when cells take up iodine and by characteristic changes in thyroid tissue. Goiters may also be nodular, having hot or cold nodules, or they may be vascular, with changes present in the veins and arteries that supply the thyroid gland. In Graves' disease, iodine distribution is even although the uptake of iodine is increased. For these reasons, goiter in Graves' disease is called "diffuse toxic goiter." Why do some goiters continue to grow? In hypothyroidism due to iodine deficiency, goiters continue to enlarge as the cells try to pull in more iodine. In autoimmune thyroid disorders, including Graves' disease and Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid growth immunoglobulins (TGI) are the primary cause of goiter enlargement. TGI stimulate thyroid cell growth, whereas thyroid stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) cause excess thyroid hormone production.
