English medical term for คอกินเลือด?

Featured Replies

คอกินเลือด literally means "throat eat blood".  One of my in laws has this disease and she's getting it it removed. Thanks for replying.

This Thai term [like many] shouldn't be looked upon transliterally - 

 

The medical term refers to a loose translation of Hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid condition. 

It's hyperthyroidism as previously stated.  Hyperthyroidism can cause goitre, and it's probably the goitre that's to be surgically reduced in size (not removed).  This image perhaps suggests why it's known as "throat eat blood" in Thai:

I believe it's particularly common in Isaan where levels of iodine in food are low.
