Ultrasound Shows Hypoechoic Nodules In Thyroid. Normal?
Hi,I have done a thyroid test and ultrasound of thyroid gland recently and the results are T3 = 4.99,T4 =21.90,TSH=0.62. The ultrasound report says right lobe measures 1.4x1.5x4.5 cm. left lobe measures 1.5x1.2x4.2 cm and shows two small ill defined hypoechoic nodules;two of these measures 5.5x3.8 mm. Isthmus measures 2.6 mm. Is this normal or do i need to take any medicines ?

Hello, welcome to HCM,
Your thyroid profile shows increased thyroxine levels and lower TSH.
It indicates presence of hyperthyroidism. You must have some features like increased heart rate, palpitaion, nervousness, tremor hair loss, etc.
For this, you must have to take some antithyroid medication like carbimazole.
Your USG shows thyroid nodules. From these, an USG guided FNAC should be done to rule out any abnormality.
So, consult with your endocrinologist for clinical examination, ordering investigation required and for further management.
Regards.
