PAST HISTORY : FNAC Report is COLLOID NODULAR GOITER and TSH Report is normal remaining every thing is normal
Dr. Puneet Madan answered : 12 years ago
Hi,
Thyroid hormone replacement therapy is used in iodine deficiency.If you can increase the iodine content of diet,you may no longer need to go for drugs.
Hormone replacement decreases TSH and lets the thyroid recover. A large goiter that is not improving medical treatment or restricts swallowing/breathing may need partial or complete removal of the gland. If the goiter is making too much thyroid hormone, treatment with radioactive iodine, anti-thyroid medicines, or surgery may be prescribed.
Usually the prognosis of colloid goitre is good.
Feel free to ask any further questions

Hi,
As far as I know, colloid goitre rarely requires surgery. Medical treatment should be enough for the treatment unless it is producing pressure symptoms on wind pipe,food pipe or may be if the surgery is being done for cosmetic reasons.
I believe you should have a second consultation and also visit a nearby doctor.

Hi,
That is what I have told you that I was not convinced why you were told such a thing. You should take a second consultation for that,but it should be at least from an internal medicine specialist or you can even take it from an endocrinologist.
I do not have an idea about homeopathic treatment(drugs).
I hope I have answered your question.
