Goiter is a hypothyroid condition caused by iodine deficiency. Because of widespread goiter in landlocked midwestern states, in the past, iodine was included in table salt. This is why salt - for sale in grocery stores today - still says "iodized salt" (although it may be bought without iodine, as well).
There are various different causes of a goiter:
In many hilly areas, you have very less Iodine salt in the drinking water. This causes enlargement of the thyroid gland, specially in puberty. So you have epidemic of goitre in such area. That is called epidemic goitre.
An iodine defiency in your diet, the Thyroid gland makes up for it by growing larger.
It is caused by Iodine deficiency which causes swelling in the throat
goitre occurs in particular place and it is restricted to particular areas , so gitre is called an endemic disease.
Colloid nodular goiters are also known as endemic goiters. They are usually caused by not getting enough iodine in the diet.
Hyperplasia of the Thyroid gland occurs as a result of dyshormonogenic goiter, endemic goiter, Graves' disease, or due to multinodular goiter.
