View allI've had this sore wound on my back for over 3 years that just won't heal. My homeo doctor recommended minor surgery to remove it, but I'm wondering if there are other treatment options without going under the knife. My blood sugar is around 300 - does that affect the healing? If surgery is really the only way, which specialist should I see for this?

I've been diagnosed with multi nodular goiter benign enlarged thyroid lobes with multiple solid and cystic nodules. The report mentions hypo to isoechoic nodules of varying sizes and some cystic changes, but no calcification or abnormal vascularity. The largest nodule on the right is 1.5x1.4 cm, and the left lobe has a large cystic component measuring 1.9x1.5 cm with internal fine echoes. No significant lymph nodes or issues with parotids or carotids were noted. Should I consider surgery for this or is monitoring enough?
Most benign goiters are monitored with annual ultrasound and thyroid function tests. Surgery is only needed if there are compressive symptoms, cosmetic concerns, or malignancy suspicion.
