Nontoxic multinodular goitre - what does this mean
Nontoxic multinodular goitre is a condition in which the thyroid gland becomes enlarged and produces multiple lumps or nodules. it is usually caused by an overproduction of thyroid-stimulating hormone (tsh) from the pituitary gland, resulting in an increase in the size of the thyroid gland and the formation of multiple nodules.
What happens during the disease - nontoxic multinodular goitre
Nontoxic multinodular goitre is a condition in which the thyroid gland enlarges and forms multiple nodules. this is usually caused by the accumulation of excess iodine, which stimulates the thyroid to produce excessive amounts of hormones. this in turn causes the thyroid to become enlarged and form nodules. other causes can include a genetic predisposition, autoimmune disorders, and environmental factors such as radiation exposure.
