Alcohol Sclerotherapy of Benign Thyroid Nodule

Alcohol Sclerotherapy of Benign Thyroid Nodule - Causes and Risk Factors

​The definitive causes of benign thyroid nodules have not been clearly identified. Some studies show that certain thyroid nodules may relate to smoking, obesity and metabolic syndrome or alcohol consumption (associated with thyroid gland enlargement, more so in women). Very rarely, thyroid growths may be caused by insufficient iodine in the diet, usually in the developing world.
