Nodular goiter is the enlargement of thyroid tissue mass. It is not caused by inflammation of the gland. There are two forms: diffuse and nodular goiter. Nodular goiter is the most commonly enlarged gland tissue (adenoma).
During examination, a nodule may be perceived, but only pathohistological analysis can determine the nature of this nodule.
Why does nodular goiter occur?
Modern medicine suggests that the formation of goiter is linked to iodine deficiency in food and drinking water.
Chronic stress and certain chemical and physical factors also contribute to the development of nodular goiter.
Substances that inhibit iodine utilization have been identified: foods (seaweed, cabbage, cauliflower), and drugs (sulfonylurea derivatives).
There is also a genetic predisposition to the development of goiter.
Who is affected?
Goiter can occur at any age but is more common in women. Data shows that approximately 3.9% of people in Europe have a non-toxic goiter. Nodules tend to grow. The tumor mass exerts pressure on the soft tissue of the neck in some people, causing choking, swelling, difficulty swallowing, and changes in voice color. Older people are at risk of thyroid cancer.
How does goiter manifest?
Goiter is often asymptomatic for a long time. The person usually notices an enlargement in the neck, without a rise in temperature and without pain.
Preventive measures for nodular goiter are possible.
A person with a family history of nodular goiter should consume iodine through diet and drinking water (150 micrograms per day).
It is necessary to manage and reduce stress. Carbonated drinks and smoking should be avoided.
Primed 7 is a natural preparation based on honey and an extract of green nuts. It is made according to a well-known recipe.

The preparation is used by individuals suffering from hypothyroidism or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Its natural composition ensures good iodine absorption. Regular use of Primed 7 preparations provides the optimal amount of iodine. Primed 7 helps eliminate unpleasant symptoms associated with reduced thyroid function, such as dry skin, dry hair, slow metabolism, and dry and brittle nails.
