Goiter is generally categorized into physiological goiter and pathological goiter. Physiologic goiter generally does not require special intervention, while pathologic goiter generally requires treatment. 1. Physiologic goiter: Physiologic goiter occurs mostly in adolescent children during the developmental stage, and goiter in this kind of people can slowly subside by itself. 2. Pathological goiter: for example, endemic goiter may not be treated with medication, and it is advisable to eat more iodine-rich foods such as kelp and seaweed; diffuse simple goiter may be treated with sodium levothyroxine; goiter caused by Graves’ disease may be treated with medication, radioactive iodine and surgery. For patients with goiter, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time and under the guidance of professional doctors for standardized treatment.
