My thyroid ultrasound was today, and it was extremely interesting. My endocrinologist showed me the images and gave a very thorough explanation. My thyroid is enlarged and more so on the right side. The tissue is irregular in texture with several nodules on both sides, but the right side has a larger nodule. I have been diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. I am now taking medicine daily in hopes of regulating the thyroid production so the nodules will shrink and the tissue will be more regular. We are giving it 2 months and then re-visiting the issue. If my symptoms haven't gotten better and the nodules haven't reduced in size, I will have a biopsy. We will go forward from here.
