An enlargement of the thyroid gland is called a goiter. Goiter can be found in different forms. In nodular goiter, both thyroid glands are enlarged symmetrically and the face of the thyroid is smooth and soft. In nodular goiter, although the thyroid gland is enlarged, there are one or more nodules in it. Iodine deficiency is the most important cause of thyroid enlargement (goiter). Goiter formation paves the way for other thyroid diseases, especially hypothyroidism. Iodine is used by the thyroid to produce hormones. In general, adequate iodine cannot be taken with food.
