Dear Ms. lybrate-user,
I guess the histology report on the removed thyroid nodule is benign. In that case the small nodule in the left lobe seen on ultrasound needs only annual follow-up. About 20 % of these nodules may disappear, 20 % remain the same for many years and the remainder show very slow increase in size. Continue your present dose of eltroxine and get annual tsh and ultrasound imaging of the thyroid done and keep us informed

The thyroid may be a small gland but plays a large role in the functioning of the body. It is located just below the voice box. Along with producing hormones that help in the transportation of blood, it also helps regulate metabolism, keeps the organs functioning optimally and helps the body conserve heat. In some cases, when the gland produces excessive hormones or when it develops structural problems, it may become necessary to remove the thyroid gland.

Thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland, which is present at the lower frontal region of the neck, right beneath the voice box. It produces hormones which regulate metabolism (the breakdown of food by the body to convert it into energy). It even plays a pivotal role in boosting organ functions as well as in helping the body to sustain heat. However, too much of hormone production by the thyroid gland might yield structural problems, for instance, growth of nodules (abnormal tissue growth) or c...more
