Diffuse goiter is a form of goiter. Is diffuse goiter dangerous? This is a question that many people wonder about. Because we only know the common names such as goiter, thyroid goiter. So what is diffuse goiter? Is this disease dangerous?
What is diffuse goiter?
Diffuse goiter is also known as goiter or thyroid nodule. This is a condition in which the thyroid gland is enlarged evenly on both lobes. Most diffuse goiters are benign and do not endanger the patient's life.
This disease has two types: nontoxic diffuse goiter and toxic diffuse goiter.
- Non-toxic diffuse goiter: Benign, also known as simple goiter
- Toxic diffuse goiter: Also known as Basedow's disease or hyperthyroidism with goiter in the neck.
Diffuse goiter is a condition in which the thyroid gland is enlarged evenly on both lobes.
Signs and symptoms of diffuse goiter
When goiter spreads, the patient will have the following symptoms:
Nontoxic diffuse goiter
Diffuse nontoxic goiter is usually asymptomatic. The patient or others may notice a swelling in the neck that feels smooth to the touch.
Toxic diffuse goiter
For toxic diffuse goiter, symptoms include:
Hyperthyroidism
People experience symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to the thyroid gland producing too much thyroid hormone, including:
- Weight loss;
- Heat intolerance (excessive thirst, sweating);
- Run;
- Nervous;
- Worry;
- Tired;
- Palpitations;
- Shortness of breath;
- Frequent bowel movements or urination;
- Nausea, vomiting.
Large goiter compresses
Similar to non-toxic diffuse goiter. If the goiter is too large, it can cause compression in the neck area. The patient feels swelling or a lump in the neck, difficulty swallowing, and difficulty breathing.
Graves' disease
If a person has Graves' disease, there may be other symptoms such as:
- Eye diseases: Protruding eyes, double vision, edema around the eye socket, excessive tearing.
- Skin disease: Manifested by slightly thick skin pigmentation, especially in the pre-tibial region.
- Diseases of the reproductive system: The most common abnormalities of the reproductive system are irregular menstruation.
Toxic goiter can cause bulging eyes.
How to treat diffuse goiter?
People with goiter need to see an endocrinologist for diagnosis and treatment. For non-toxic diffuse goiter (simple goiter), symptoms are few and do not cause much harm to health, so treatment is usually not needed. Only when the goiter is too large, compressing organs, leading to difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing or affecting aesthetics, then intervention is needed.
For toxic diffuse goiter, treatment will be to suppress the thyroid gland's production of hormones with antithyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, or surgery. In addition, beta blockers are used to reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism such as rapid heart rate and sweating.
