Goitre Questions

Please go for a medical check-up with your doctor and let the doctor examine it. Some tests may be advised to diagnose the problem.

Write report of ultra sound report and thyroid hormone t3 t4 tsh tests if done for proper assessment.

Both doctors are right. Multinodular goitre should be evaluated for functional status and surgery is the final answer for cosmetic purpose.

Surgery, Radioactive iodine therapy and levothyroxin therapy are the options for treatment of multinodular goitre. If surgery is not acceped by patient other options are there specially if goitre is symptomatic.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
What do you mean by "complete diagnosis" Since she has goiter as mentioned, that itself is the diagnosis. To know whether surgery is needed there are some investigations to be done, like Ultra sonographhy of thyroid, hormone levels and if needed FNAC. That will give an exact idea of the situation. Thanks.

You have not mentioned thyroid profile report. If hypothyroid or hyperthyroid treat accordingly. If thyroid profile normal then wait for some time it will become normal as it has reduced by more than 50% in few months post delivery.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Thyromegaly tends to occur due to either iodine deficiency or due to other causes like thyrotoxicosis and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. If pressure symptoms are there then surgery is the only option to relieve those. It would have been better if you had mentioned actual T3, T4 & TSH values. Also it is better to check Anti-TPO antibodies. Cost of surgery the specific hospital will only be able to give. Thanks. Thanks.

pain could be due to soar throat, pharyngitis etc.
if you feel its thyroid enlargement you can do ultrasonography of neck to rule out thyroid swelling. small thyroid nodules are difficult to palpate with fingers and for that USG is best option.

you can send me your neck picture in private message if you are confused about swelling

If there r obstructive symptoms, surgery will help other wisw try medicine and radio active iodine good luck.

Mr. lybrate-user, It has to be properly investigated to see if goitre is causing hypothyroidism or thyrotoxicity. So by simply mentioning goitre no medicine can be prescribed. Plus in this communication we are supposed to give only general guidelines and no prescriptions. Hence, if you are (your friend) looking for specific treatment advise, then please come back with following details: Thyroid assay results, body weight, height and details of any symptoms experienced. Thanks.
