Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As your doctor recommend you should get fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy . Thyroid nodule which is larger than 1 cm and is non-functional (low hormone thyroid levels) needs FNA . This is the only way to exclude malignancy. The FNA biopsy is a simple and safe procedure. Please, do not try any over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, any supplements or herbal medicines before getting your definite diagnosis. Only definitive diagnosis can guide proper treatment for thyroid diseases.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you,
