Hi welcome to HCM...
You are having hypothyroidism and taking levothyroxine drug for that. ...
You have not mentioned your TSH level..
Dose of thyronorm has to be adjusted according to TSH level..
So you can investigate with TSH if not done to decide right dose ...
Sexual activity usually doesn't lead increase in size of nodule from hypothyroidism ...
Take care .....
Advise : consult endocrinologist....
