I have a thyroid for 3 year. my doctor told me to do optation. my thyroid is becoming large by day. is there any other treatment without operation.

Large thyroid: You could try radioactive iodine which will shrink the mass. The best treatment is to get the thyroid out through surgery. This can be done through a very small incision. You should have an easy recovery. Good luck.
