Is The Movable Lump In My Throat Related To Previous Multi- Nodular Goiter?
hi, i have noticed a small lump just below my adams apple it does move up & down when i swallow & is not painful. Years ago I was also been diagnosed with a multi-nodular goiter. but this lump is new... should i be evaluated or is it part of the thyroid issue?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have lump which moves with swallowing so it should be of thyroid origin. It can be goitre, adenoma or carcinoma. You should go for ultrasound thyroid, thyroid hormone test and fine needle aspiration cytology.
These will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
