Goiter from a Holistic Perspective

Goiter occurs more commonly in women and in people genetically predisposed to it. It is said to affect 10% of the US population and is characterized by an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which results in swelling on the front of the neck. The thyroid gland may enlarge during a normal physiological phenomenon like puberty or pregnancy, or may be caused by another condition like Grave's disease.

The thyroid gland produces thyroxin (T4) and triidothyronine (T3) hormones that are responsible for maintaining metabolism, muscle and nerve activity, blood flow, reproductive health and various other important functions of the body. 

If the goiter does not affect normal functioning of the thyroid, it is known as non-toxic goiter. However, when the goiter causes over-activity of the thyroid gland, it is called toxic goiter.

Types of Goiter

Depending on the texture of the thyroid gland, goiters can be classified into two types:

• Diffuse Goiter: In this type of goiter, the thyroid gland is smooth in consistency. It is usually caused by a viral infection, a thyroid disease like Hashimoto's thyroiditis, or by drugs such as lithium.
• Nodular Goiter: In this type of goiter, the thyroid gland is irregular or nodular in consistency. These goiters can present as a single swelling (solitary nodule) or as multiple swellings (multi-nodular goiter). It is usually caused by tumors of the thyroid gland.

Symptoms of Goiter

Large goiters may be associated with symptoms such as:

• A constricted feeling or 'lump in the throat'
• Difficulty in swallowing
• Difficulty in breathing, especially while lying-down
• Hoarseness of the voice

Diagnosis of Goiter

The diagnosis of goiters is based on the medical history, a physical examination and diagnostic procedures like:

• Blood tests to measure the level of thyroid hormones
• Thyroid scan and radioactive iodine uptake
• Biopsy of the goiters

Conventional treatment for Goiter depends upon the size and the functioning of your thyroid gland. If it hinders normal functioning, then a hormone replacement therapy, a radioactive therapy or a surgical removal of the gland may be required. The high incidence of recurrences suggests that these conventional treatments do not cure Goiter and merely offer symptomatic relief.

The treatment for goiter requires regular follow-up examinations for monitoring and modifying dosage according to hormonal levels. Thus hormone replacement therapy becomes a life-long treatment and once started the dosage needs to be periodically increased, and it cannot be withdrawn. The body becomes totally dependent on the hormone and any fluctuation in the dosage causes return of the symptoms and further deterioration of the condition.

In radio-active therapy, radioactive iodine is taken up by the thyroid, which destroys the cells in the thyroid gland. This leads in the reduction of thyroxine production and may also reduce the size of the gland. However, radioactive therapy has been disappointing and is controversial especially in treating non-toxic goiter.

Surgery is always a risky procedure and it is a well known fact, that surgery will not address the root cause of your condition.
