Suggest Treatment To Get Rid Of Thyroid Nodules Without Surgery
I have a non cancer thyroid nodule about 5cm on the left lobe and a few small once on the right side, 1.4cm the larger one. My doctor said to take the whole thyroid out. I am a female, 51 years old. Is there a treatment to reduce nodules? I am not ready to have surgery

If the enlarged nodules are not giving you any problem in breathing or eating food, you can wait for the surgery.
