Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Thyroid Nodules
Just frustrated with my doctor. Had a follow up ultra sound done back on December 15, 2010. And was told my thyroid nodules has increase in size but to mind you there a two to three nodules already 2.5 in size. Just frustrated because I have not heard back from the doctor about my results. I called the week of Christmas and was told that when she get the results will call me. No phone call. Should I not be worry?

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You have multiple enlarged nodules in thyroid gland. It suggest multinodular goitre. You should go for T3, T4, TSH testing as well as FNAC thyroid. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then plan accordingly. It is not serious or urgent condition so don't worry much. But in my opinion surgery is required to remove thyroid gland because multinodular goitre can turn in to cancer.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Wish you very good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
