Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have nodule on thyroid.
It can be due to multinodular goitre, adenoma or papillary carcinoma or some other lesion. You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology of that thyroid nodules. It will give you exact diagnosis. then you should take treatment accordingly. But before that check your hormone level once because if you have hyperthyroidism then no need of FNAC.

So first check your thyroid hormones and if needed go for FNAC.
Then plan according to diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
