Yes, both men and women can develop goiters, which are enlargements of the thyroid gland. Goiters can occur due to various factors, including iodine deficiency, autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or conditions that lead to thyroid hormone imbalance. While they are more commonly diagnosed in women, particularly during pregnancy or menopause, men are also at risk. The underlying causes and symptoms can vary between individuals regardless of gender.
