Symptoms of goitre 

The main symptom of a goitre is swelling of the thyroid gland (a gland in the neck that produces hormones) which causes a lump to develop in the throat. The lump will move up and down when you swallow.

Types of goitre

There are two different types of goitre:
  • diffuse small goitre - where your entire thyroid gland swells to a larger size and feels smooth to the touch
  • nodular goitre - where certain sections, or 'nodules', of your thyroid gland swell and feel lumpy to the touch

Other symptoms

Other associated symptoms of a goitre can include:
  • coughing
  • a tight feeling in your throat
  • changes to your voice, such as hoarseness
  • less commonly, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or difficultly breathing, such as a high-pitched sound when you breathe (stridor)
