Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be simple goiter, which is caused by non-inflammatory or tumor-related obstruction of TH synthesis leading to compensatory thyroid enlargement. This condition does not accompany symptoms of hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, and the thyroid appears diffusely or multinodular enlarged. It is related to iodine deficiency, and it is recommended to undergo iodine supplementation treatment.
