Non-toxic diffuse goiter

The main reason for the development of endemic goiter is iodine deficiency. The purpose of treatment is to restore the optimal level of iodine content, reduce the size of the thyroid gland.
Sanatorium-resort treatment of the disease in Ust-Kachka consists in the complex application of the following procedures: hydrogen sulfide or bromine-iodine according to the I-II regime or pearl, or aromatic baths, manual massage, CEAN from the apparatus "LENAR". In addition, the patient is prescribed a diet, physical therapy, phytotherapy and the intake of mineral water "Ust-Kachkinskaya" depending on the acidity of gastric juice.

In principle, moderate iodine deficiency is widespread in the regions of our country. Certain factors: genetic predisposition, occupational hazards form diffuse goiter, which can be cured only in a hospital setting. Climate change, a calm lifestyle, proper nutrition contribute to healing and improve the patient's condition.

Treatment results

Proper treatment helps to normalize the size of the thyroid gland and restore its working function.

Consequences of lack of treatment

The lack of treatment in the sanatorium involves surgical intervention. The entire thyroid tissue is removed, which, of course, excludes subsequent relapses. The patient will have to use teroxin all his life – to replace the thyroid hormone, which is expensive and, in principle, not convenient.
Диффузным нетоксическим зобом называется увеличение щитовидной железы, не связанное с нарушением функции и не являющееся последствием воспалительных и неопластических процессов в ней.
