A member asked:
I have just been diagnosed with graves disease (april 1), are there any benefits to having the thyroid gland removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easier treatments: Treatment with radioactive iodine is less invasive and generally effective. Surgery is usually not the first choice. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/graves-disease/ds00181.
