A goiter is an abnormal enlargement of the thyroid gland and can occur for a number of different reasons. A healthy thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland inside the neck, just below your Adam’s apple. The thyroid gland produces hormones which control the body’s metabolism and regulate the rate at which the body carries out its functions.

The presence of an enlarged goiter usually means that the thyroid gland is not functioning normally. Causes of a goiter include an imbalance in the thyroid gland, and goiter symptoms generally occur in a gland that is overactive, producing too many hormones (hyperthyroidism), or that is underactive, producing too little hormones (hypothyroidism).

Goiter puts pressure on other parts of the neck such as the trachea and esophagus – making it difficult to breathe and swallow. Often, goiters are also removed for cosmetic reasons. They are more common in women and the elderly.
