Can hypothyroidism cause goiter?

Yes, hypothyroidism can cause goiter. When the thyroid gland is underactive and not producing enough thyroid hormones, the body may respond by enlarging the gland in an attempt to compensate for the deficiency. This enlargement can lead to the formation of a goiter, which is an abnormal swelling of the thyroid gland. Iodine deficiency is another common cause of goiter associated with hypothyroidism, as iodine is essential for hormone production.
