While normally harmless, a&nbsp;goiter&nbsp;can lead to your thyroid producing an incorrect amount of hormones. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of&nbsp;goiters worldwide. In the US, the most common cause of a&nbsp;goiter&nbsp;is an autoimmune condition called Hashimoto\u2019s thyroiditis. This condition causes your own immune system to slowly destroy your thyroid, resulting in a decrease in hormone production. The pituitary gland senses this decrease and causes the thyroid to grow in order to compensate. A blood test and a physical exam are usually all that is necessary to diagnose a&nbsp;goiter.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>Call <span class=\"company-name \">The ENT Center of New Braunfels<\/span> at <a href=\"tel:+18306273777\" class=\"phone \"> <span class=\"phNum\">(830) 627-3777<\/span><\/a> for more information or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A&nbsp;goiter&nbsp;is caused by the swelling of the thyroid.
