Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Goitor In Thyroid
Question: I have removed my uterus back in 1998 and right now I am taking some Vitiman made from soybean, so does it help with my body since I also got an enlarged goitor in my thyroid for a few years but blood test shows TSH level are normal and I am NOT PUT UNDER ANY MEDICATION.
Brief Answer:
Thyroid function monitoring required.
Detailed Answer:
Good day,
Noted your concern. Soyabean, evening prim XXXXXXX oil etc have good amount of phytoestrogens which is natural hormones of plant origin. They are helpful too.
It is important to use calcium and vitamin D as well. There is no relation of these with enlarged thyroid
If the TSH is normal, no need to worry. However, the Thyroid function test ( TSH and Free T4 ) have to be repeated after 6 months along with thyrioid ultrasound if there is enlarged thyroid.

Hi Dr. XXXXXXX
Is there anything I can do to avoid enlarge goitor, I dont think I have enough idoine in my diet.
My recent mammography shows my right breast has a dense tissue which makes it more difficult to detect cancer. With the aid of the heart pumping every second, the left side of breast does not have this problem.
I was told to get extra exray for my dense right breast. But afterwards the radiologist said there is no need for ultra sound.
What can I do to lessen the desity of my right breast ? Is any exercise or food helpful. Our Asian culture does not consume too much dairy products in our daily diet. Is that helpful too ?
Thanks a lot.

Brief Answer:
Iodine rich diet
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms XXXXXXX
Yes, a diet rich in idoine is very important for thyroid health. You may take idoized salt if your diet is poor in idoine. Sea food is great source of idoine.
You need to meet a surgeon who is an expert in breast disease. He will be able to help you regarding the breast density. There is no relation of any kind of diet with density of breast. A healthy diet with fruits and vegetables is generally very good. But diary products or anyother food do not influence breast density
