FAQ
Questions, answered.
Send previous ultrasound or biopsy reports on WhatsApp before your visit if available.
Many thyroid nodules are benign, but risk depends on ultrasound features, size, growth pattern, symptoms and personal risk factors. Evaluation helps decide whether monitoring or biopsy is needed.
No. Biopsy is usually considered when the nodule size and ultrasound features meet certain criteria, or when symptoms or risk factors are concerning.
Common evaluation includes thyroid blood tests such as TSH, ultrasound review, and sometimes antibody testing or fine needle aspiration biopsy guidance.
