Do I need to have surgery if I have hyperthyroidism

Condition analysis:
 Surgery for Hyperthyroidism (thyroidectomy) removes part or all of the thyroid gland. Doctors rarely use this surgery to treat hyperthyroidism. You may need surgery if:
-- Your thyroid gland is so big that it is hard for you to swallow or breathe.

-- You have thyroid cancer or your doctor suspects you have thyroid cancer. For more information, see the topic Thyroid Cancer.

-- You had serious side effects from taking antithyroid medicines. And radioactive iodine is not an option for you.

-- You have a large goiter that radioactive iodine treatment did not shrink.

-- You have a single, large thyroid nodule that is making too much thyroid hormone, and radioactive iodine did not effectively treat the nodule.

Instructions:
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: If your body is not getting enough omega-3 fatty acids, there can be hormonal imbalance, including thyroid hormones. These essential fatty acids are the building blocks for hormones that control immune function and cell growth, and also help improve the ability to respond to thyroid hormones.

You can increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet by eating more fish, grass-fed animal products, flaxseeds, and walnuts.
