Thyroid nodules can be effectively treated without surgery using Radiofrequency Ablation technique.
If a lump on the neck is present, do not overlook as it might potentially indicate thyroid problems:
- Thyroid adenoma – An overgrowth of normal thyroid tissue
- Toxic adenoma – An autonomously functioning thyroid nodule which causes hyperthyroidism
- Thyroid carcinoma – Thyroid cancer
Due to medical advancements, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment option to treat non-cancerous thyroid nodules using radiofrequency through a small needle electrode without surgery. Conducted on outpatient basis, this procedure does not require hospital stay and general anesthesia, enabling a fast recovery.
