I'm currently around 164 cm tall and I'm hoping to increase my height by at least 2 inches. Can you share any advice or recommend any medication that can help with height growth without any side effects? I exercise regularly, but I'm really looking to gain those extra inches.

I've been diagnosed with colloid nodular goiter and was told surgery might be needed for the left side of my thyroid are there other treatment options I could consider instead?

Yes, there are alternative treatments to surgery for colloid nodular goiter, including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and radioactive iodine treatment. RFA uses heat to shrink the nodule, while radioactive iodine is used to treat an overactive thyroid and may also help decrease the size of the goiter.
