How To Treat Multinodulat Goiter Without Surgery?
Doctor, i am 41 year old female. I have a small lump in my neck. As per the advise of doctor i have done the Thyroid Function Test and it is normal. However, the ultrasound results show that i have multinodulat goiter especially a big one on the left lobe 1.67x1.73 and in right lobe 0.73 cm. The surgeon is advising for surgery.
What is your opinion? is there any complication if i do not do a surgery?? can this be controlled through food? what kind of foods to be taken?
