Slightly enlarged goiter - what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Goiter: A goiter means a diffusely enlarged thyroid gland and there are a number of causes. There may be no symptoms or the vague sense of neck tightness. Best for you to see your primary care physician to start, and then perhaps an endocrinologist. Surgeons get involved only when necessary.
