I have a goiter, what's the best treatment?

Thyroid Goiter - The term nontoxic goiter refers to enlargement of the thyroid which is not associated with overproduction of thyroid hormone or malignancy. The thyroid can become very large so that it can easily be seen as a mass in the neck. This picture depicts the outline of a normal size thyroid in black and the greatly enlarged goiter in pink. There are a number of factors which may cause the thyroid to become enlarged. A diet deficient in iodine can cause a goiter but this is rarely the cause because of the readily available iodine in our diets. A more common cause of goiter in America is an increase in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in response to a defect in normal hormone synthesis within the thyroid gland. The thyroid stimulating hormone comes from the pituitary and causes the thyroid to enlarge. This enlargement usually takes many years to become manifest.

I have goiter for almost two years now, I'm scared to have an operation but needs it to be treated soon because its becoming larger each day, I wish it can be cured through medicine only and no operation because I am very afraid of medical operation. My problem also with medicine only to take is we don't have enough money to avail of it. Do you know any treatment?
