Goiter, an enlargement of the thyroid gland, can lead to various health issues, including difficulty swallowing or breathing due to pressure on the esophagus or trachea. It may also be associated with hormonal imbalances, resulting in symptoms of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, such as fatigue, weight changes, and mood fluctuations. Additionally, a goiter can affect cosmetic appearance, leading to psychological impacts such as anxiety or self-consciousness. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may involve medication, iodine supplementation, or surgery.
