The thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. The cause may be autoimmune disease (Hashimoto's), treatment for hyperthyroidism, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery or some medications.
A goiter may cause similar symptoms. The most common cause of goiter worldwide is a lack of iodine in the diet. For people who use iodized salt, goiter is more often due to the over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones or to nodules that develop in the gland itself.
