Hi.the goiter would not \"stop growing\". And yes it is due to iodine deficiency. You could control it by taking in your prescribed medications. Also, you need to do regular follow-up with your doctor for imaging and thyroid function testing for monitoring. Definitive treatment is surgical especially when the tumor or the \"goiter\" is large already and have the possibility of obstructing your food and airway.
