Suggest Treatment For Multinodular Goiter
Hi I have a multinodular goiter, i do not have any hyper or hypothyroidism, just a very large goiter that is pressing on my trachea and I am having a total thyroidectomy next month. I have been trying to fall pregnant for over 10 months. could this be the reason why I am not pregnant? I am 39 years old and in reasonable health other the goiter creating problems with breathing, weightgain and muscle pain. i have heard of many people that have had this surgery and then have gotten pregnant straight away.
Thanks
Rosa
