Toxic Multinodular Goiter
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Toxic multinodular goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland in which several nodules form that produce excess thyroid hormone, which disrupts the body's hormonal balance.
Common symptoms: an increase in volume in the neck may be noticed, in addition to manifestations of the hormone excess such as a faster heart rate, nervousness, weight loss, or heat intolerance.
When is it advisable to have it reviewed? If you notice a lump in the neck or symptoms suggestive of increased thyroid activity, it is reasonable to seek an evaluation to study the gland.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist is the one who studies and follows up on thyroid disorders; in some cases the general surgeon may collaborate, and the internal medicine physician or general practitioner support with the initial guidance. Seeing a professional makes it possible to define, based on your situation, the appropriate tests and follow-up.
