Simple goiter refers to a non-cancerous enlargement of the thyroid gland, which is located at the base of your neck. Unlike other thyroid conditions, a simple goiter isn't caused by inflammation or cancer, and it typically doesn't lead to an overactive (hyperthyroid) or underactive (hypothyroid) thyroid initially. However, it's still a condition that warrants attention.

If there isn't enough iodine, the thyroid works harder to try and produce sufficient hormones, causing it to grow larger.
