Hello,

The ultrasound of thyroid gland shows nodules in bilateral thyroid lobes along with lymph node on one side of neck. I suggest you to get fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of thyroid nodules.

FNAC will sample the cells from thyroid nodule and determine the nature of cells in the lesion. Further management will depend on the type of cells sampled from thyroid nodules.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri
