How hypothyroidism cause a goitre to develop?

Answer 1

When the thyroid does not generate enough hormones, the chemical interactions in the body might become out of balance. Autoimmune disease, hyperthyroidism therapies, radiation therapy, thyroid surgery, and certain drugs are all possible causes.

Answer 2

Goitre (a swelling of the thyroid gland) normally occurs when the body lacks iodine. The gland swells in order to try to extract more iodine from the bloodstream. This happens in upland areas well away from the sea. In the UK, it's known as Derbyshire neck. In mainland Europe it's known as Swiss neck. It is almost unknown now in Derbyshire or Switzerland except amongst people who live on farms and draw their water from private wells and iodine is added to the mains water supply. Goitre remains a problem in the Balkans, however, especially the Carpathian mountains, where the government has failed to provide iodine supplements or to add iodine to the water.

Answer 3

Hypothyroidism can cause diseases in humans such as Hashimoto's disease. Hypothyroidism can also cause an individual to get cancer or gain excessive weight.
