Nodular goiter, an impediment for Australian migration?

---

I have nodular goiter, a case where I have a node on my thyroid gland. I had it checked and it was diagnosed to be benign and I now take medicines to help it shrink. I'm just worried since I'll be submitting my application forms for permanent resident visa in Australia soon. Do you know if my Nodular Goiter will cause some problems or will result Australian visa rejection?

Thanks!
You are safe this is not something you can give to anyone its your body and this stays with you .  (+ info)

Any advise for someone with HYPERthyroidism due to "toxic nodular goiter"?

---

The cause of the hyperthyrodism isn't diagnosed yet, but because he is a he, and is over 50, I gather it woudl be uncommon for it to be caused by Grave's disease.

He has had difficulty swallowing lately. Could that be a symptom of either Graves or "toxic nodular goiter"?

The appointment for the diagnosis is tomorrow and I woudl like to have an idea of what is coming.

is there a cure for goiter? what foods are good and bad for goiter?

---

I have nodular goiter for years now, I would sometimes exprience sudden changes in my weight, falling hair, dry skin and always catching my breath whenever i climb the stairs.
yes. 98% of goiter are curable. You're lucky that your goiter is nodular. Unlike Hyperthyroidism which is far worse than nodular because of a lot of complications, nodular goiter can be cured by taking substitute pills for T3 & T4 like Levothyroxin.

Avoid too much stress.

Consult your Endocrinologist, though.

Good luck.  (+ info)

I have a multi-nodular goiter, what is it?

---

I have a multi nodular goiter that they found about 3 years ago. I take Levoxal for it. I am unclear what it actually is and why I have to take Levoxal. My MD is always vague when I ask about it. My dosage has increased steadily every year, especially after having 2 children. I am and have been (all my life even as a child) lethargic and have little energy. Since college I've had a horrible time losing weight, even with diet and exercise. Is this all related? My family doctor has been treating me for this, should I be seeing a specialist instead?

Thanks!
Yes you need to see an Endocronologist the goiter is caused by a thyroid problem .  (+ info)

what isThyroid-Nodular colloid goitre with cystic degeneration ?

---

My laboratory result shows that I have Thyroid-Nodular colloid goitre with cystic degeneration what does this mean and what are the risks of this dieses did I have to remove it surgically please this is series write only what you know thank you .
I have a huge cyst in my thyroid. The lab results were inconclusive on whether it was carcinogenic. I am due to have it tested again. I spoke with my endocrinologist and she said even it it were cancerous, which is a minute chance, it is by far the best cancer to have. Many people live without noticing for many years. If you do have cancer in the thyroid they will remove it and treat you with radioactive iodine. Not chemo. My boyfriends boss also had thyroid cancer which spread throughout his body, they removed the thyroid and treated him and now he is perfectly fine. He takes a pill everyday to assume normal TSH hormone production. Cystic degeneration probably means that you have some solid and liquid mass in your cyst- which is more commonly cancerous, however in the whole picture a small possibility. Speak to your doctor and be at ease. Most likely things will be Okay- but don't procrastinate on it and be healthy.  (+ info)

What are they symptoms of a ruptured Focal Nodular Hyperplasia?

---

I was diagnosed with Focal nodular hyperplasia, which is a type of benign tumor on the liver. I've been having a lot of pain lately. Along with tingling sensations that just started today. I was wondering if anyone knew the symptoms of a ruptured Focal nodular hyperplasia. I can't find any info online about it. Thanks so much.
Pain is the only symptom. If you look under
"presentation"of this web page, you will see it mentioned.
I definitely would have it checked out right away. From the second article that
talks about rupture...it is very rare.

Usually what symptoms a patient has
with a tumor, will only increase if there
becomes a problem with it.

Wish I could tell you more.  (+ info)

How long does it take to develop a goiter?

---

I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which resulted in a goiter (Hashimoto's Disease). Does anyone know how long it would have taken for it to develop after being infected with an autoimmune disorder? My thyroid is 2-3 times larger than the normal size. How long has my goiter been developing? Months? Years?
Please, help. Thanks to everyone who answers.

I would reallllllllyyyyyyyyyyy like to know!
I had a goiter for about 5 years,from what i remembered my neck started swelling uop from nowhere when i was out with my friend and then it went down on its own again. However before the swelling i noticed major changes in my mood and craving for alot of food. I thought nothing of it...and a couple of weeks later the goiter finally formed and it was huge.long story short i controlled it with medicine and radioactiive but neither worked as my body threw out the radioactive. so ten days ago i finally decided to have surgery and removed my entire thyroid because i simply could not control it with mediciation anymore and taking herbs and natural remedies did not work for me either. i feel great after the surgery,my heart is not longer pounding,no more breaking out in hives etc. I found an excellent surgeon who did not destroy my voice and my calcium levels were a little low after the operation but its back to normal now. however if u get save ur thyroid n radioactive works for u,then great,surgery should be your last option for graves disease.  (+ info)

What are the risks if a woman having an active toxic goiter will undergo a Cesarean operation?

---

my wife is having an active toxic goiter and she is on her 5th month of her pregnancy now. Her doctor told her she has to undergo cesarean delivery because of her goiter. On the other hand, the doctor told her that her recovery after the operation will be difficult also due to the same condition.
Nobody should go through pregnancy with an "active toxic goiter". So your question is moot. Get your wife treatment for her health problems! She need to be on PTU, pronto.

How can I prevent goiter or hypothyroidism if I have an iodine allergy?

---

I suffered two anaphylactic shocks in the past 13 months due to consumption of foods that contained iodine. I don't want to develop a large neck (due to goiter or hypothyroidism), so how can I stay healthy with an iodine allergy?
That is a question that you should take to your Physician, or go to the Health Food store and ask for their recommendation. There are also Nutritionist that should be able to direct you, to what may be available for you instead the Iodine. I am just trying to be helpful, and wonder if you are aware that there is a white
iodine, and that perhaps you may be able to tolerate, better that the regular brown iodine. I wish you the best, by finding a specialist that treats Thyroid disease  (+ info)

What kind of treatment can I get for a Goiter when I am allergic to iodine and donot want surgery?

---

OK... I was just (5 minutes ago) diagnosed with Goiter (enlarged thyroid). I have had the blood work and ultrasound so it is definitly the problem. I have read up on it when I was warned it may be problem but I cannot find anything about treatment for someone who is ALLERGIC to IODINE. I can have it in very small amounts (I can eat seafood a couple times a month spread out) but if I have large doses or even cook with it daily my throat swells, I get hives and have breathing difficulties. Once I passed out after I ate too much seafood and my airways were blocked because of the reaction and and I had to be admitted to the hospital because of it. I would prefer a natural remedy but I am open to all suggestions and information. Thank You.
I was told by a nurse from the clinic I went to. I have no insurance at my job, so I have been refered to the local Charity Hospital Surgery Center and they can take a month or more to get back to me. I have a friend that used to work there and it is not the place I would want to be. They have been known to perform proceedures that were unnecessary.
I am a registered nurse, that knows of a natural supplment for thyroid disorder. It REALLY works. contact me [email protected]  (+ info)
