View allHow fast do thyroid tumors grow?
It is different for every person as tumor growth is multifactorial. According to findings published in "The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism"; malignant thyroid nodules are more likely to grow at least 2 mm per year and increase in volume compared with benign thyroid nodules.

Could you advise on the correct dosage of vitamin D I should be taking and how often I need to take it? I want to make sure I'm doing it right.
The recommended dose of vitamin D varies depending on age, deficiency level, and health status; generally, 600-800 IUday is recommended for adults, 1,000-2,000 IUday for deficient individuals, and 2,000-5,000 IUday for severe deficiencies; take vitamin D supplements with a fatty meal, preferably breakfast, and consider the following dosing schedules: - Mild deficiency: 600-800 IUday for 1-3 months - Moderate deficiency: 1,000-2,000 IUday for 3-6 months - Severe deficiency: 2,000-5,000 IUday for 6-12 months

I've had a benign carotid body tumor on the left side of my neck for 4 years now, about 30x29 mm in size. I didn't go for surgery and have been managing it with ayurvedic treatment to prevent it from growing. I'm also exploring homeopathy. Sometimes I get palpitations and pain, but only when I have colds or coughs. Should I be worried about these symptoms or consider other treatment options?
Given the tumor size and symptoms, re-evaluation by a head and neck surgeon is advisable despite alternative therapies.
