What could be causing thyroid enlargement in my child?

Iodine is the raw material for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, and if iodized salt is not consumed, the body may be deficient in iodine. When iodine deficiency occurs in the body, the thyroid gland increases in volume compensatorily in order to maintain normal thyroid function. With the popularity of iodized salt, goiter due to iodine deficiency is also relatively rare.

It may be because the child eats a relatively simple food, is malnourished, and lacks iodine, which leads to an enlarged thyroid gland.

This condition is most likely caused by excessive iodine intake, and it is best to go to the hospital immediately**.

The thyroid gland usually grows during puberty, menopause, and pregnancy, and it is possible to eat some foods that cause thyroid enlargement.

First of all, the amount of iodine taken is relatively small, and the amount of water drunk is relatively small, and the amount of exercise is relatively low, and then it also includes being in adolescence, which may also be caused by congenitality, and may be due to living in coastal areas for a long time.

Hello, I feel a lump in my neck, I feel very hard to touch with my hands, accompanied by pain, go to the hospital for examination and show goiter, which can be seen in nodular goiter, thyroid adenoma, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, etc., it is recommended to improve auxiliary examinations, such as ultrasound, check thyroid hormones, etc., to make a clear diagnosis, and be positive.

Hello, the cause may be caused by endocrine disorders, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a specific examination and then formulate a specific ** plan in combination with the condition.

Hello, according to your description, there are various causes of an enlarged thyroid gland, it can be a goiter, it can be hyperthyroidism, or it can be a nodule. However, nodular goiter is more likely. If nodular goiter is not suspected of malignant transformation and the enlargement does not affect life, it can be observed first and re-examined regularly.

Goiter is a compensatory goiter caused by iodine deficiency, goiter-causing substances or related enzyme defects, without obvious hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, so it is also known as non-toxic goiter, which is characterized by sporadic goiter endemic areas, and is not accompanied by tumor and inflammation, the thyroid gland is mostly diffuse at the beginning of the course of the disease, and can develop into multinodular enlargement later. Smoking can cause isolated goiter because the inhaled contains thiocyanate, a goiter-causing substance, and serum thyroglobulin levels are higher in smokers than in nonsmokers.

Hello, the main cause of goiter is caused by inflammation or iodine deficiency of the thyroid gland, but it may also be caused by excessive or low secretion of thyroid hormones and other hormones. Symptoms such as heat intolerance, excessive sweating, palpitations, irritability, hyperphagia, and weight loss are all symptoms of hyperthyroidism.

Iodine deficiency, inflammation, immunity, etc. can all be caused.

It is a compensatory goiter mainly due to iodine deficiency, which is more common in young women, and is generally not accompanied by thyroid dysfunction, and sporadic goiter can lead to a variety of ** similar results, that is, the body's demand for thyroid hormones increases.

Iodine deficiency is an important cause of endemic goiter, which often occurs in the interior and mountainous areas of high terrain away from the ocean. External factors such as puberty, pregnancy, lactation, menopause, trauma and other factors can also cause goiter. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time to find out the situation, and cooperate with the doctor under the guidance of the doctor in time if the problem is found.

In general, goiter is caused by congenital defects in thyroid hormone synthesis, but may also be caused by iodine deficiency, disorders of thyroid hormone synthesis or secretion, and increased thyroid hormone requirements.
