Symptoms of goiter are a swelling at the base of the neck, hoarseness, change in the rate of metabolism, and in extreme cases, difficulty in swallowing and breathing.

Treatment of goiter varies with the cause. If goiter is due to an iodine deficiency, increasing the intake of iodine will prevent further enlargement of the gland, and in some cases, reduce its size.
Vitamin A is necessary for the proper metabolism of iodine; this vitamin is also important for the proper functioning of the pituitary gland, which secretes a substance that regulates the thyroid.There is a major problem with testing for thyroid diet for weight loss problems. The blood tests are horrible at detecting thyroid problems.

A vast majority of people who need thyroid hormone treatment have normal blood tests.
The problems a thyroid imbalance can cause if untreated are dangerous. The fatigue and weight gain are one thing, but it can also cause infertility, a 400% rise is miscarriages, a 68-69% increase in heart attacks, and many more problems.
