Patient's question:
Doctor, my mom has been saying for the past half month that I might have a goiter because she noticed that my body seemed smaller than usual, so she thought there was a problem and quickly called me to the hospital to get checked. To my surprise, it really was a goiter. What is the cost of the surgery?Doctor's answer:
The cost of surgery for goiter varies by region. For your mother's condition, it is recommended to seek further medical consultation at the endocrinology department or general surgery department of a Class III-A hospital in your local area. If it is simply goiter without affecting thyroid function, and the thyroid does not compress the esophagus or trachea, nor does it cause symptoms such as difficulty breathing, surgical treatment is not necessary. Dynamic and careful observation is sufficient.
