Are you looking for a non-surgical solution for thyroid cysts? Dr. Prashant Pote offers advanced treatment options tailored to your needs.
Thyroid cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can develop on the thyroid gland, causing discomfort and potential health concerns. While surgery has traditionally been the go-to treatment for thyroid cysts, advancements in medical technology now offer non-surgical alternatives.
Dr. Prashant Pote specializes in non-surgical approaches to treating thyroid cysts. These methods include:
- Ultrasound-guided Ethanol Ablation: This minimally invasive procedure involves injecting ethanol (alcohol) into the cyst to shrink it. It is performed under ultrasound guidance, ensuring precision and effectiveness.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): RFA uses heat generated by radiofrequency waves to destroy the cyst’s tissue, leading to its shrinkage and resolution. This procedure is also guided by ultrasound for accuracy.
- Aspiration: In some cases, a thyroid cyst can be drained using a fine needle to remove the fluid. This procedure can provide immediate relief from symptoms and may be repeated as necessary.
Dr. Prashant Pote prioritizes patient comfort and safety throughout the treatment process. He will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the most suitable approach for your specific condition and will guide you through each step of the treatment journey.
