A larger than normal thyroid…

Scientifically speaking, a thyroid that has grown in size is called a goiter, and even though a goiter does not present a danger to human health, it can cause considerable discomfort when swallowed or coughed upon.

Always get checked by a health care professional, because a larger than normal thyroid may very well signal a much more serious problem such as Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease, or possibly even thyroid cancer.

Females are more likely to be touched by this problem than males, and women over 40 years old are even more at risk.

But there is no need to panic because goiters can be easily treated if you take the right medication to help regulate your hormones. In more severe cases, minor surgery may be considered.

Some cases don’t even need treatment because the goiter disappears on its own, or as Richards did, the solution may simply be making a few lifestyle changes.
