A test is done, thyroid radioactive uptake, to see the size of the goiter. There is a possibility that the goiter will shrink without the need for surgery. The other removal method is surgery. Have a doctor determine these.

∙ 11y agoIf you suspect a goiter, seek the help of a qualified physician or endocrinologist (gland specialist). Screening tests will need to be run and usually include:
- TSH
- Free T3
- Free T4
- TPOabs
- TGabs
If nodules are found, an ultrasound may be necessary to determine if further testing needs to be done.
