Patient's question:
The neck has two wide bulges on both sides. Sometimes it causes stomach issues, and the bulges are particularly severe, making the neck appear very wide visually. When touched, it feels very hard but without any pain. Is this condition goiter? I don't want to take medication and would like to change it through dietary methods.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may not necessarily be goiter, but it could be the widening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It is recommended that you go to the endocrinology department of a regular hospital for examination. Through the doctor's palpation and thyroid ultrasound, it can be confirmed. If it is goiter, it is recommended to pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, especially not staying up late, and reduce the use of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers. Eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins.
