My benign goiter in the left lobe of the thyroid was confirmed by FNAC in 2015. The recent USG from October 2017 shows it's grown to 3.6 cm by 2.4 cm compared to 1.8 cm by 2 cm in May 2015. Should I consider surgery now or is it okay to just monitor it with follow-ups every 6 months?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your goiter has grown, surgery might be considered, especially if it’s affecting your breathing or swallowing. Regular follow-up every 6 months with an endocrinologist is advisable to monitor its progress.
