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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.
