Why Do Thyroid Swelling Problems Occur?
Thyroid swelling, commonly known as a goiter, occurs when the thyroid gland grows larger than normal. This can happen due to various medical, nutritional, or hormonal reasons
Iodine Deficiency
Iodine is essential for thyroid hormone production. Low iodine levels cause the gland to enlarge in an effort to compensate.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) – The gland may swell to produce more hormones.
Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) – Overstimulation can lead to swelling.
Autoimmune Diseases
Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis – The immune system attacks the thyroid, causing inflammation and enlargement
Graves’ Disease – Stimulates the thyroid excessively, leading to swelling.
Thyroid Nodules or Tumors
Lumps or growths in the gland may cause visible swelling, sometimes forming a multinodular goiter.
Pregnancy or Puberty
Hormonal changes during these phases can temporarily affect thyroid size.
Genetic Factors
A family history of thyroid problems may increase your risk.
