A goiter is an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland, often visible as a swelling in the front of the neck. While it may be painless, a goiter can signal underlying thyroid dysfunction—either hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, iodine imbalance, or even autoimmune disease.

Symptoms of Goiter

  • Visible neck swelling
  • Tightness in the throat
  • Difficulty swallowing or breathing (if large)
  • Cough or choking while lying down
  • Voice changes or hoarseness
  • Feeling of pressure when wearing collars or necklaces

Causes of Goiter

  • Iodine Deficiency
  • Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
  • Graves’ Disease
  • Thyroid Nodules or Cysts
  • Hormonal Imbalances (Estrogen, PCOS, Pregnancy)

Diagnosis: What Tests Are Needed?

  • Thyroid function tests – TSH, FT3, FT4
  • TPO antibodies – to check for Hashimoto’s
  • Neck ultrasound – to evaluate gland size, nodules, and structure
  • FNAC biopsy – only if nodules are suspicious
  • Iodine & mineral levels – Oligoscan or blood tests
  • Thyroid uptake scan – only in specific hyperthyroid cases
