A member asked:
What kind of treatment can i get for a goiter when i am allergic to iodine and do not want surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Goiter: Work with your team, your doc. If you have graves disease and radioactive iodine was recommended, there are several additional medications with benefit. Initial therapy and subsequent result is important for you and your doc to determine subsequent treatments. Don't avoid all care over your iodine and surgery limits.
