Enlarged thyroid goiter

2 Replies

Hi,,I'm new to this site. I have an enlarged thyroid goiter that isn't cancer, my thyroid levels are all normal. It's pressing against my windpipe and is still growing, so not surprisingly I'm anxious. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any ideas of how to reduce it?

Any recommendations for specialist medical practitioners?

I'm really keen to avoid surgery if I can.

Thanks

There is a thyroid group on health unlocked - think it's called thyroiduk. I suggest you search for that group, join it, ask for advice and read old postings to enable you to get the right help with your condition.
