Goiter Facts

"One of the craziest things I've learned as an Endocrinologist....

So there are people with goiters, and a goiter is just like a very enlarged thyroid. I've seen them pretty much as big as this guy. 

As long as it's not cancer. As long as you can talk and you can breathe at night and you're not having problems swallowing. You can actually live just fine with a goiter. 

As long as it's not cancer or it's not like a grave's or hypothyroidism goiter that's untreated. And so yeah....

It's cosmetic for some, but if you ain't bothered, keep moving."
