Diagnosis of goiter a simple inspection of the anterior cervical region already indicates an increased volume, the presence of nodules. The ultrasound, i.e., ultrasonic graph, allows you to view and classify these nodules.
The examination by ultrasound is able to inform us the possibility of a nodule with features of malignancy. We do know, however, that this possibility would be about 10% or less. Kyle Leon Customized
This means that over 90% of Goiters are benign. Nonsurgical treatment of goiter for several years, this surgery volume increased thyroid (goiter) was considered as the most appropriate treatment though the high cost and possibility of some consequences in the post-surgical.
However many patients with goiter are elderly and have other diseases (heart, kidney, hypertension, diabetes) that possibly increase the surgical risk.
On the other hand, many patients do not want to undergo surgery. ago about 20 years in some European countries, began treating goiter with radioactive iodine.
The treatment yielded excellent results. However radioiodine doses used were high with total body radiation far beyond what one might wish.
In addition, the patient would have to stay in hospital for three days in hospital. Click this link
More recently, since 2001, began a new treatment modality. Preceding the radioiodine dose (relatively low at 30 mill curies), the patient receives two injections in two consecutive days, a thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). With all this stimulus nodules goiter receive and absorb the radioactive iodine.

People who are obese and who have a larger waist size may need more aggressive weight loss treatment than others.
