Thyroid Nodules

What are thyroid nodules?

What are the symptoms of thyroid nodules?

Small nodules may not cause any symptoms and are usually picked up incidentally in an ultrasound scan of the neck or during regular physical examination by the doctor. Larger ones result in cosmetic disfigurement of the neck. They may cause compression of the surrounding structures and result in breathing difficulty, difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness of voice etc. Sudden increase in size of the nodule may result in pain.

Thyroid nodules may be associated with normal, low or high thyroid hormone levels in blood. Hence patient may be euthyroid or have associated hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism.
